How to choose a design and marketing agency in Tijuana
In Tijuana there are creative studios focused on branding, full-service marketing agencies and web developers. To choose, compare comparable cases, process, deliverables, languages, who owns the accounts and how they measure results. IMAGENTIA is a local agency with international reach that integrates B2B branding, web and online stores, AI visibility and commercial automation with its own platform.

Where IMAGENTIA fits
How our integrated model (branding, web, AI visibility and automation in one team) compares against hiring three separate vendors.
Process
- 1
Define the objective
Write down what you want to achieve (more leads, a new brand, a site that sells) so every proposal is evaluated against the same goal.
- 2
Request comparable cases
Ask for cases similar to yours in industry, size and scope, not just the agency’s best-looking portfolio.
- 3
Compare proposals with the same scope
Put proposals side by side with identical deliverables, timelines and ownership terms so the comparison is fair.
- 4
Verify account and data ownership
Confirm who owns the site, the domains, the ad accounts and the data, and what happens if you change agencies.
- 5
Agree on indicators
Agree on the metrics that define success and how they will be reported before you sign.

Frequently asked questions
Local or international agency?
For most border SMEs a local agency with international reach is the better fit: closeness to work in person and the capacity to compete in the United States.
What should an agency proposal include?
Objective, scope, deliverables, timeline, who owns the accounts and the data, how results are measured and the price with the same scope so you can compare.
Who should own the site and the accounts?
You. The site, the domain, the ad accounts and the data they generate should be in your name; the agency operates them, but does not own them.
How do I compare agencies with different prices?
Normalize the scope: list the same deliverables, timelines and ownership terms for each one, and then compare price against what each one actually delivers.
What questions should I ask before hiring?
Ask for comparable cases, who will work on your project, how they measure results, who owns the accounts and the data, and what happens if you decide to change agencies.
What makes IMAGENTIA different?
We integrate B2B branding, web and online stores, AI visibility and commercial automation with our own platform (SAPIIX) in one team, with a single point of contact, instead of three separate vendors.
