MTHD Marketing Named "Best Marketing Agency of the Year 2025" by Consumer Ratings Institute, Launches Free Marketing ROI Calculator to Help Businesses Optimize Spend

Award-Winning Full-Service Agency Introduces Game-Changing Tool That Reveals Whether Marketing Investments Are Working—Or Wasting Money

CALIFORNIA – January 24, 2026 – MTHD Marketing, a California-based full-service marketing and design agency, today announced it has been named "Best Marketing Agency of the Year 2025" by the Consumer Ratings Institute. The recognition comes as MTHD launches an innovative free marketing calculator designed to help businesses—from local operations to enterprise corporations—determine whether their marketing spend is generating returns or draining budgets.

The new MTHD Marketing ROI Calculator provides instant, data-driven insights into marketing performance and calculates the precise investment needed to achieve specific revenue goals. The tool is available free of charge at calculator.mthd.agency as part of the agency's mission to bring transparency and accountability to an industry often criticized for opaque pricing and unclear results.

"Most businesses are flying blind with their marketing spend," said Geraint Clarke, Co-Founder and CEO of MTHD Marketing. "They're investing thousands—sometimes millions—without knowing if it's working. We built this calculator because businesses deserve to know the truth before they spend another dollar."

From Business Operators to Agency Leaders

Unlike traditional marketing agencies founded by career marketers, MTHD's leadership team brings a unique perspective: they've built, scaled, and sold multiple successful businesses before launching the agency.

Before founding MTHD, Clarke and his team scaled an e-commerce brand into the top 1% of all Shopify stores globally, flipped a failing San Francisco business for a 12x return, and transformed a baron vineyard into a sold-out wedding venue. Their marketing methods worked so effectively that clients began demanding the same strategies—leading to MTHD's creation.

"We don't just talk about marketing—we've lived it," Clarke explained. "We know what it's like to watch every dollar because it's our own money on the line. That's the perspective we bring to every client. We're not here to run campaigns; we're here to drive profits."

That profit-first mentality shows in the numbers. MTHD maintains a 6x average Return on Marketing Spend (ROMS) across its client portfolio—meaning clients receive, on average, $6 in revenue for every $1 invested in marketing. This performance metric significantly exceeds the industry standard of 3-4x and positions MTHD among the top-performing agencies nationwide.

Within seven months of launching, MTHD became one of the top-performing agencies globally, earning official partnerships with Google, Meta, and Shopify—a testament to the team's proven track record of delivering measurable results.

The Marketing Calculator: Transparency at Scale

The MTHD Marketing ROI Calculator addresses one of the industry's most persistent problems: businesses don't know if their marketing is working until they've already spent the money.

The free tool analyzes:

• Current marketing spend efficiency – Is money being wasted or generating returns?
• Revenue-to-marketing ratios – Are investments aligned with industry benchmarks?
• Required spend to hit revenue goals – Precise calculations based on business objectives
• Channel-specific ROI potential – Which platforms deliver the best returns for specific industries

"We've managed over $100 million in marketing campaign results across our own businesses and client accounts, maintaining a 6x average Return on Marketing Spend," Clarke noted. "This calculator packages that knowledge into something any business owner can use in under 1 minute. Whether you're spending $1,000 or $100,000 a month, you'll know immediately if you're on track or throwing money away."

Full-Service Capabilities, Founder-Level Attention

MTHD differentiates itself through comprehensive in-house capabilities that most agencies outsource or don't offer:

• Strategic Marketing & Paid Advertising – Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok campaigns with documented ROI improvements
• Web Design & Development – Conversion-focused websites built on Shopify, Webflow, and custom platforms
• Branding & Packaging – Complete brand systems from strategy through to physical product design. Not AI-generated images.
• Video Production & Photography – Professional creative production without outsourcing.
• Email Marketing & Automation – Lifecycle campaigns that drive repeat revenue.

The agency has delivered over 600 projects for clients including Ellusionist, BrewDog, Sky, Nike, Blackoak, Loops, Mission Athletics, Global AI and DYNAMO, to name a few, generating over $100 million in trackable client revenue.

"Most agencies specialize in one area and claim to do everything else," Clarke said. "We actually do it all—in-house, with our own team. When you work with MTHD, you're getting experts across every discipline, not someone who's going to hire a freelancer on the side."

Mission-Driven Growth: From Local to Enterprise

The Consumer Ratings Institute award recognizes MTHD's commitment to serving businesses at every stage of growth. The agency works with local service businesses investing as little as $2,000 monthly alongside enterprise companies spending six figures on integrated campaigns.

"Our mission has always been to help businesses grow faster and make more money using the same methods that made us successful," Clarke emphasized. "The calculator is just the first step. We want to democratize access to world-class marketing strategy—whether you're a local restaurant or a national brand."

The MTHD Marketing ROI Calculator represents the agency's broader philosophy: transparency, accountability, and results over vanity metrics.

"Too many agencies hide behind jargon and confusing reports," Clarke concluded. "We show you exactly where your money is going and what it's producing. If we can't improve your results, we'll tell you upfront. That's how we've built a business—and that's how we keep clients for years, not months."
