Disruptive Advertising review
One of the largest US PPC shops (Clutch 367, tens of millions in spend) with real results, but recurring account-manager turnover, seniors-sell/juniors-execute, templated strategies, plateaus after a few months, and hard-to-exit contracts.
Pricing: several published tiers Reported — not published by the agency

Verdict
Disruptive Advertising (founded 2012, Utah, several hundred staff) is a large, visible full-service PPC agency managing tens of millions in spend across Google, Meta, and more, with a big Clutch footprint (367) and genuine case-study results (e.g. 500% ROAS, e-commerce lifts). But the complaint pattern is remarkably consistent: account-manager turnover, junior team running the account after senior strategists close the sale, templated strategies, performance that plateaus after the first few months, slow responsiveness, and difficulty exiting contracts early. Multi-channel breadth (a rubric caution) and opaque pricing ($4-6k start, $8-15k+ at higher spend). A reasonable pick for $75k+/mo full-service buyers who negotiate the exit terms and the actual account owner up front.
