I started using Actuate on recommendation of a close friend after a pretty horrible experience with another agency. Actuate is incredibly transparent and responsive. Anytime I’ve asked them to pivot or tweak things, they are right on it. The work they do is lovely. They are true professionals!

About Actuate Media (researcher summary)
Seattle's Actuate Media, founded in 2016, is a small digital advertising agency that combines online campaigns with traditional media buying. Its declared work is divided equally between SEO, PPC, social media marketing and content marketing, and it also plans TV, radio and print placements for clients wanting wider reach.
The agency's stated purpose is to help businesses make better advertising decisions using data. Its team holds Google Ads and Analytics certifications, and Actuate says it is a Google Premier Partner. It positions itself as an extension of a client's own marketing team, offering counsel, data analysis and strategy across media types. Each engagement begins with a review of the client's goals, audience and competitors, and campaigns are refined through regular performance reviews and ongoing optimization. Actuate emphasizes flexible agreements: it says it avoids long-term contract lock-ins as well as setup or hidden fees, and it provides transparent reporting.
With a team in the 1-9 band, a $1,000 minimum project size and hourly rates of $100-149, Actuate Media suits small and mid-sized businesses that want a hands-on Seattle digital marketing agency able to blend search, social and paid advertising with offline media, without committing to a lengthy contract.
