Phoenix AZ Ad Agency founded in 2016 and rebranded in 2019 under Jason Kelly. It focuses on small to mid-sized businesses and has served over 300 clients, while completing more than 1,200 projects.

Consultations are available early on, which helps clarify the scope and budget before anything starts. Monthly pricing usually falls between $1,500 and $10,000, with hourly work around $70 to $150 depending on the service.

Their setup works as a full in-house production system, covering web design, ad creatives, and even print materials like event booths. This removes the need for outsourcing, keeping timelines tighter and brand consistency intact.

Another detail worth noting is their internal AI system called “Stephanie,” used for automation and campaign optimization. It pushes decisions based on traffic and conversion data rather than design preference alone.

One main drawback is that their work leans heavily towards trades and service-based businesses, limiting flexibility for fashion or design-led brands.

Amazing quality and easy to work with

“I would use Phoenix Ad Agency for all things conference set up! Jason was exceptional. He helped me last minute get a custom table cloth and steal and repeat banner in just days. Amazing quality, and so easy to work with. Jason goes above and beyond!”

Went above and beyond

“Jason offered the best comprehensive plan to promote the launch of our Thai restaurant.  He communicated often and went above and beyond his contractual responsibilties.  He and his team were so professional – I’d highly recommend Phoenix AZ Ad Agency.”

ReThinc Advertising has been operating since 2008 as a boutique agency. It is owner-led by Ed Olsen, and the setup feels like an outsourced in-house marketing department.

Discovery sessions come first, where brand positioning and messaging are mapped out before any design work begins. Hourly rates typically range from $70 to $150, and pricing is customized depending on the depth of the engagement.

They cover logo systems and billboards, then extend that into websites with SEO-friendly structure and UX-focused layouts. Campaigns include paid ads and retargeting, with A/B testing and dashboards tracking performance across channels.

However, there’s no strong focus on cinematic or high-end video service offered here. This affects brands that rely heavily on polished video storytelling for campaigns.

Even so, PR is built into their workflow, including press releases and media outreach backed by long industry experience. Media buying is also handled in-house, so ad placement and creative direction stay aligned across TV and digital.

True visionaries with excellent skills

“ReThinc has been amazing! Not only were they patient with us while we had internal discussions about the work they submitted, but they were incredibly attentive to our feedback. The final product far exceeded our expectations, and we are happy we chose them for our rebrand. Stephanie and her team are true visionaries, with excellent skills in everything from marketing to web design and graphics.”

 Friendly team with great communication

“Incredible agency! They’re professional, creative, and always deliver on time. From branding and strategy to graphic design, print materials, and websites—they do it all and do it exceptionally well. Friendly team, great communication, and worth every penny. Highly recommend!”

The Felice Agency has been around since 2008, led by Tony Felice with over 35 years of branding experience. It runs as a boutique team of about 1–10 people, so projects feel hands-on from strategy to execution.

Creative production goes beyond typical ads, covering video with voiceover and author branding or book covers. Campaigns also extend into PR, including reputation management, which most creative agencies do not fully integrate into their services.

Moreover, they also handle digital execution through UX-driven websites and SEO-informed layouts, paired with performance campaigns. This makes their creative work feel more structured instead of relying purely on visuals.

Some of their niche work includes firefighter recruitment campaigns and healthcare branding, where messaging needs to meet strict compliance. For us, that level of specialization gives them an edge over other agencies offering generic campaigns.

Just note that the process leans more towards strategy and PR development, which slows down quick design requests.

Kind and hard-working people

“From our very first meeting with Tony, Tim and Ashlee we knew The Felice Agency was THE marketing company that we were looking for to launch our new business!  The level of trust that we felt in handing over the task of creating our logo and developing our branding strategy was almost immediate.  And to say that they hit that task out of the ballpark is an understatement!  They have exceeded our expectations in all regards.  There is no doubt as we look towards the future, and launching our business, that The Felice Agency will be an integral part of that process.  I can’t imagine partnering up with a better company…and it comes down to the people.  I truly believe Tony and Tim care about the success of our business as if it were their own.  You won’t find more creative, intelligent, genuine, kind, and hard-working people than you will at The Felice Agency!”

Wholly invested in a client’s success

“The Felice Agency provides stellar service, creativity and acute knowledge of the marketing industry. I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with Tony Felice in multi-year campaigns, and as a partner agency, we’re continually impressed by his team’s creativity and dexterity in implementing effective strategies that get real results. The best part? Tony and his team are a joy. Fun, genuine and wholly invested in a client’s ongoing success. Highly recommend!”

Manley Creative has been operating for over 20 years and is led by Jim Manley, who has earned 28 Rocky Mountain Emmy Awards and two New York Film Festival awards.

Their core strength lies in full-scale production, covering video shoots, animation, and even podcast or live streaming setups. Everything runs in-house, from scripting to post-production, keeping quality control tight across deliverables.

However, their production-heavy approach can feel excessive for brands that only need quick design assets. This is because the agency focuses more on developing multi-channel campaign systems.

Nonetheless, they bring a strong technical structure, using market research, KPI tracking, and A/B testing frameworks to guide output. Content is produced continuously, which suits businesses running ongoing marketing cycles.

Another detail worth noting is their ability to handle complex industries like aerospace and healthcare. This shows their strength in turning technical subjects into structured and engaging creative campaigns.

Thoughtful creatives

“Manley Creative has been a trusted partner for many years producing iconic brand moments through corporate communications, customer stories, project launch support and employee engagement. Digital, Video, Social delivered by thoughtful creatives that just don’t produce, they learn and own the business. True partners.”

• Ron McMurtrie, Google Review

Professionals all the way

“Manley Creative are professionals all the way! So collaborative and attentive from pre-production to post, I trusted them 100% and they more than delivered. I worked with Manley numerous times and honestly wouldn’t use anyone else. Not only are they professionals, but they’re just good people and I think most of us want to do business and work with good people. I’d highly recommend Manley Creative!”

Ivio Agency has been operating since around 2013–2014. They have completed over 250 web projects, which already shows how deep their experience runs in website-focused work.

Projects usually fall between $5,000 and $50,000+, with hourly rates around $70 to $150 depending on scope. Considering the level of digital support, the pricing feels fairly competitive for a boutique agency.

Their strongest area is website design, where UX structure, SEO architecture, and conversion layouts are built together from the start.

Additionally, they also run paid campaigns and lead funnels, tying creative output directly to traffic and conversion tracking. The process is structured, with workshops and iterative revisions shaping the final output instead of quick one-off builds.

One gap shows up in PR and media relations, which are not part of their service stack. This might limit the exposure strategies of the brands that rely on external publicity channels.

Takes time to explain the technical side of marketing

“I engaged with IVIO for my two vet hospitals in Aug. 2025 with the goal of increasing our new client numbers, as a consequence, our new client numbers have skyrocketed! Dustin and Benjamin have been particularly helpful at taking the time to explain the technical side of how internet marketing works so I could truly be on-board with how the process works. I have even recommended them to several friends and colleagues because the experience has been so positive.”

• Josh Sosnow, Google Review

Responsive and professional to work with

“Dustin and Ivio are the quintessential agency and were incredibly important to the success of Phoenix 10k and marathon the past several years.They managed our website and designed our logos for our tshirts and added content.They were very responsive and professional to work along side.I would suggest considering Ivio if you need any help in promoting your business.”
