Disruptive Advertising Client Reviews

Clients across Clutch, DesignRush, and Google consistently cite measurable results and strong account-team relationships, with the most common friction point being Disruptive’s budget floor for smaller brands.

Clutch: 4.8/5 (371 reviews)

Clutch’s profile spans reviews from 2022 through August 2026, with the most recent read dated August 5, 2026, indicating an actively maintained, high-volume base.

What clients praise:

• Communication and transparency, including regular meetings and proactive updates
• Measurable results, with reviewers citing lead-volume, lead-quality, and sales gains
• A data-driven, analytics-led optimization approach
• Named account staff called out favorably across multiple reviews

Where clients push back:

• Project costs, with reviewers citing a spend range from roughly $1,200 to over $150,000 per year depending on scope
• Occasional requests for more frequent meetings or more detailed reporting, described as minor rather than deal-breaking

“They consistently deliver on the results that others only promise.”

• Matthew Struck, IT/Marketing Director, Odegaard Injury Lawyers (Clutch )

DesignRush: 4.9/5 (39 reviews)

DesignRush’s native reviews cluster around 2022 and are somewhat older than the Google-sourced content the same profile also displays. DesignRush explicitly syndicates Google reviews on this listing, so the Google-labeled testimonials shown there should not be read as independent corroboration separate from the Google Reviews platform below.

What clients praise:

• Revenue lift, including one native review describing monthly revenue moving from about $50,000 to over $70,000
• A fivefold increase in email revenue cited by one reviewer
• Strong communication and a partnership feel

Where clients push back:

• The same budget-minimum and small-brand-attention pattern seen on Google, since DesignRush republishes Google content on this profile

“Our email revenue has increased fivefold since working with Disruptive.”

• CEO, Farsedaklis Beauty, DesignRush native review, June 27, 2022 (DesignRush )

Google Reviews: 4.7/5 (297 reviews)

Google’s own business panel shows 4.7/5 across 297 reviews (verified August 2026). Third-party directories that mirror this profile report counts up to 319, but the figure used here is the one on Google’s panel.

What clients praise:

• Fast, measurable revenue and lead lift after onboarding
• Account managers described as knowing the client’s brand well

Where clients push back:

• A high minimum spend requirement, with one reviewer noting the agency does not work with accounts under $5,000 a month
• Limited attention for smaller accounts, with one reviewer advising smaller brands to reconsider given reduced access to marketing staff
• A specific unmet-results claim from one reviewer citing over $17,000 in total spend with zero leads delivered

“I spent over $17,000 total…They delivered zero leads.”

• Google reviewer, July 2, 2025, via DesignRush

FeaturedCustomers: 26 references, no rating reported

FeaturedCustomers displays “2,424 reference ratings” on-page, but only 17 to 26 written testimonials are actually visible, which is the more meaningful usable base; several testimonial videos sit behind an upgrade wall.

What clients praise:

• Service described as exceeding contracted scope
• Long-tenured, multi-business clients citing an “ethical and conscientious” approach
• Cases of reduced marketing spend for comparable or better results

No complaints appear on this profile, which is typical for a vendor-curated reference platform rather than an open review site.

“I’ve never seen them do anything less than a stellar job.”

• Director-level reference (FeaturedCustomers )

G2, Trustpilot, GoodFirms, UpCity: no profile could be directly confirmed for Disruptive Advertising as of August 2026; all four returned a 403 block or an unreadable page, so any scores circulating for them online are listed, not verified.

Budget minimums are the client complaint that recurs most clearly: reviewers on Google and DesignRush describe a roughly $5,000-a-month floor that shuts out smaller brands, with DesignRush’s overlap likely reflecting the same underlying voices rather than two independent confirmations.

Cost-versus-scope friction shows up more mildly on Clutch: reviewers there cite a wide annual spend range of roughly $1,200 to $150,000-plus and occasionally ask for more frequent meetings, but describe these as minor rather than deal-breaking.

Results and account-team quality are the praise that holds up across every readable platform: Clutch, Google, DesignRush, and FeaturedCustomers all independently surface measurable revenue, lead, or ROAS gains alongside named staff praised by name.

Disruptive Advertising Employer Reviews

Employer sentiment diverges sharply by platform: Indeed’s 3.6/5, Glassdoor’s 3.2/5 and Comparably’s 4.7/5 were all read directly, they disagree with each other, and none are averaged here.

Indeed: 3.6/5 (31 reviews)

Indeed’s page was read directly, giving it the most reliable employer-side figure on this page, though 31 reviews is a modest sample.

What employees praise:

• A positive remote-work culture with team-bonding efforts
• Strong personal and professional development opportunities
• Management described as caring “on a personal level” and encouraging work-life balance

Where employees push back:

• Lack of recognition, with reviewers describing work going unacknowledged
• Leadership instability, with reviewers citing frequent reshuffling and shifting expectations
• Reports of chasing steadily rising performance targets

“The management cares about you on a personal level.”

• Marketing Project Manager, October 30, 2025 (Indeed )

“…expectations changing midstream and somehow becoming your fault.”

• Marketing Consultant, January 4, 2026 (Indeed )

Glassdoor: 3.2/5 (272 ratings)

Glassdoor shows 46% recommending the company and 43% approving of CEO Jake Baadsgaard, the largest employer sample on this page.

Where employees push back:

• A closely involved management style
• Meeting load relative to decisions reached
• Workload against compensation
• Departures among experienced staff

The critical reviews there are written in strongly worded personal terms, so this page reports their substance rather than quoting them.

Comparably: 4.7/5 culture, graded A+

Comparably describes the same workforce very differently, on a claimed company page drawing 3,818 ratings from 199 employee participants.

AmbitionBox: no profile exists, which is expected for a US-only agency.

Three employer platforms describe the same workforce and disagree: Glassdoor sits at 3.2/5, Indeed at 3.6/5, and Comparably at 4.7/5 graded A+.

All three were read directly, so the gap is real rather than a sourcing artefact: Glassdoor and Indeed carry the larger critical samples, while Comparably’s pool is built from a different question set.
