Voy Media review
Worth a conversation about Performance Creative once the caveats below are settled.
A New York performance agency that buys the media it makes creative for - which gives it a genuine results feedback loop - but publishes no price, no brand-control process and no ownership terms.
Pricing: from $5,000 Reported — not published by the agency
Clutch lists a verified minimum project size of $5,000+ and an employee band of 10-49, with an overall rating of 5.0 from exactly one review. source ↗
How it scored
Every dimension is scored against this discipline’s published rubric. Open one to see the claim it was scored on, what the rubric measures there and how much it weighs, and where the evidence came from.
How the measuring works: we read the agency’s public record first-hand — its site, pricing, case studies and independent reviews — and score what is checkable: what is published, not how it is phrased. There is no keyword counting or sentiment scoring. The label is a judgment on those facts, which is why each dimension shows the fact that decided it, the band it was judged against, and the sources — so you can check the call, and tell us if you think it is wrong.
Production volume and velocityAdequate
Adequate — 3 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 20% of the total score.
Benchmark — across the 42 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Strong 7 · Adequate 29 · Weak 6. The typical agency here scores Adequate, and 7 of them score higher than this one.
What this dimension measures: How many assets does this vendor actually ship per client per month, and how fast is a variant round? A stated, specific throughput (e.g. Where the vendor names a client, check the client's live ads in the Meta Ad Library — POSITIVE EVIDENCE ONLY, and scope it properly. Correct procedure: run the keyword search, harvest the advertiser's page_id from the rendered HTML, then re-query with view_all_page_id=<id>. Scoped counts are 100% brand-attributed; keyword counts are not scoped to the advertiser and overstated by 41% in one measured case (HexClad, 410 keyword vs 290 scoped), while a search for a generically-named client returned 1,400 results consisting of Viator, Klook and Tripadvisor. A high-volume, recent, scoped result confirms a real programme and may raise this score. A low or absent result is INCONCLUSIVE and must never lower it. Critically: NEVER record an absence from a page ID you did not harvest from a live ad — the userID shown on a logged-out Facebook page is not the Ad Library page_id, and querying it returns a clean, convincing zero. That was proven by control on 2026-08-11 against a brand known to be running 290 ads. Absence of ads is never scored against an agency. See library/_notes/meta_ad_library_method_2026-08-11.json.
Scores high — 'X assets/month', published turnaround of 24-72h per round) with corroboration scores 4-5.
Scores low — Vague 'unlimited requests' claims with a one-at-a-time queue score 2-3 — unlimited requests with a single concurrent slot is a throughput of one. No stated volume anywhere scores 2.
What we found — The homepage carries one specific figure: "13,721 High Volume Creatives Produced A Month". It is an agency-wide aggregate with no denominator - no client count, no per-client throughput, no method - and nothing corroborates it. No variant-round turnaround is published on the homepage, the Creative Studio page or the services/creative-studio page; the only 24-hour figure on the site is administrative ("Within 24 hours of signing the contract, we will send you a New Partner Questionnaire and schedule a kickoff call"). A stated but uncorroborated, un-scoped volume claim is capped at Adequate under the corroboration rule. No Meta Ad Library scoping was run, so no ad-count evidence either way is recorded. That is between the two bands, which is why it scored Adequate.

Evidence: vendor stated — the agency’s own claim, recorded as theirs rather than ours.
Brand-system adherenceWeak
Weak — 2 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 20% of the total score.
Benchmark — across the 42 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Strong 5 · Adequate 20 · Weak 17. The typical agency here scores Adequate, and 25 of them score higher than this one.
What this dimension measures: Does the vendor work from the client's brand system — logo lockups and clear space, exact colour and type, tone of voice — or from a mood board and taste? Look for an explicit intake of brand guidelines, a named check step before client review, and any statement about who catches an off-brand asset.
Scores high — A documented preflight or QC step scores 4-5.
Scores low — 'We'll learn your brand over the first month' scores 2-3. Rotating contractor pools with no guideline intake score 1-2. Silence on the question scores 2: at volume, brand drift is the default outcome and a vendor that has not thought about it has not solved it.
What we found — Measured absence across every page read. Neither /creative-studio/, /services/creative-studio/, /what-we-do/, /advertising/ nor the homepage mentions brand guideline intake, logo or clear-space rules, colour and type specification, tone-of-voice documentation, a preflight step, or who catches an off-brand asset before client review. The one named intake artifact is a "New Partner Questionnaire" sent post-signature, described nowhere in terms of brand assets. At a claimed volume in the thousands of creatives per month, silence on brand control scores Weak per the rubric. That is what the low band describes, which is why it scored Weak.

Evidence: inferred — our reading of indirect evidence, not a documented fact.

Variant and localization capacityAdequate
Adequate — 3 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 15% of the total score.
Benchmark — across the 42 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Strong 13 · Adequate 29. The typical agency here scores Adequate, and 13 of them score higher than this one.
What this dimension measures: Can one approved concept become 100+ assets across aspect ratios, placements, languages and markets? Resizing only, single language, scores 3. Distinguish genuine transcreation (copy reworked for a market) from machine translation dropped into a template; the latter is not localization capacity and should be scored as resizing.
Scores high — Named format/placement coverage plus real multi-market or multi-language delivery scores 4-5.
Scores low — 'We make ten great ads' scores 2 — excellent and out of category.
What we found — Real breadth of format and placement: the Creative Studio pages name copywriting, UGC, graphic design and illustration, video editing, video production, and product/lifestyle photography, and the advertising page names Facebook, Instagram, Google, YouTube, Amazon, Snapchat, LinkedIn and TikTok as delivery surfaces. That is more than resize-only. But no aspect ratios or placement specs are published, and there is no evidence of creative localization: the homepage's "122 countries" refers to ad delivery reach, not to copy reworked per market, and no multi-language creative work, transcreation process or foreign-language sample appears anywhere on the site. That is between the two bands, which is why it scored Adequate.

Evidence: vendor stated — the agency’s own claim, recorded as theirs rather than ours.
Creative iteration tied to performanceStrong
Strong — 4 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 15% of the total score.
Benchmark — across the 42 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Excellent 2 · Strong 32 · Adequate 7 · Weak 1. The typical agency here scores Strong, and 2 of them score higher than this one.
What this dimension measures: Does anyone on this vendor's team read the ad account? Look for a stated feedback loop: winners scaled, losers cut, next round briefed off results. Iteration on client-relayed feedback only scores 3.
Scores high — Access to platform performance data plus a named cadence scores 4-5.
Scores low — Ship-and-stop production, where the vendor delivers files and never learns what happened, scores 1-2 — this is the most common failure in the design-subscription tier and it is what separates production from performance creative.
What we found — This is the strongest dimension because Voy Media buys the media itself, so the people producing the creative read the ad account by construction rather than by arrangement. The Quick Zip Sheets case study describes an explicit loop over roughly a year - "rigorous testing of ad creatives, angles, and audiences", then "scaling the most profitable ads for as long as possible while keeping fresh new successful ads on standby" - which is winners-scaled/losers-cut in the vendor's own words. The homepage states "we continually test, track and optimize your ad spend". The Clutch review independently reports "regular email updates and weekly phone calls", corroborating a reporting rhythm. Held below Excellent because no creative-round cadence is published anywhere - how often a new batch is briefed off results is not stated - and the corroborating review base is a single review. That is the high band above, which is why it scored Strong.
On the record — “The Quick Zip Sheets case study describes a performance-fed iteration loop over roughly a year and reports 5+ ROAS sustained, 128% year-over-year revenue growth, 24% higher returning-customer rate and 6+ retargeting ROAS, but shows no ad creative and states no asset counts.” voymedia.com ↗
On the record — “The case study index lists roughly thirty-five named clients, of which eight are tagged Creative Studio; no per-case performance metrics appear on the index itself.” voymedia.com ↗
Evidence: partly checkable — corroborated in part against the sources below; the remainder rests on the agency’s own account.
Compliance and claim handlingAdequate
Adequate — 3 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 10% of the total score.
Benchmark — across the 42 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Strong 11 · Adequate 19 · Weak 12. The typical agency here scores Adequate, and 11 of them score higher than this one.
What this dimension measures: Legal disclaimers, claim substantiation, platform specs and safe zones, accessibility contrast, rights and licensing on music/footage/creator content. Platform-spec competence only scores 3. Do not fail a small shop for lacking pharma review workflows it was never asked for.
Scores high — Explicit process, or regulated-category experience (health, finance, alcohol, children's), scores 4-5.
Scores low — No evidence either way scores 2 with LOW confidence rather than a penalty — most SMB-facing shops never discuss this publicly, and absence here is weaker evidence than absence on volume or ownership.
What we found — Broad platform-spec competence is evident across eight ad platforms, and the case study index names clients in restricted or restricted-adjacent categories - Purity Products, Kaya Biotics, VHealth Tech and Smoke Away in supplements, Male Medical Group in men's health, Big Life Journal and Blankie Tail in children's - which implies working experience with categories that get ad copy rejected. But no claim-substantiation, disclaimer, safe-zone, accessibility-contrast or music/footage licensing process is described on any page read, and this matters more than usual here because the vendor produces UGC and runs influencer marketing without stating anywhere how creator content is licensed. Held at Adequate: category exposure is vendor-stated and no process is published. That is between the two bands, which is why it scored Adequate.
On the record — “The case study index lists roughly thirty-five named clients, of which eight are tagged Creative Studio; no per-case performance metrics appear on the index itself.” voymedia.com ↗
UGC — user-generated-content style ads: creative shot to look like a customer’s own phone video rather than a produced commercial.
Evidence: vendor stated — the agency’s own claim, recorded as theirs rather than ours.
Ownership and continuityWeak
Weak — 2 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 10% of the total score.
Benchmark — across the 42 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Strong 3 · Adequate 24 · Weak 14 · Poor 1. The typical agency here scores Adequate, and 27 of them score higher than this one.
What this dimension measures: Who owns the output — final files, source/working files, raw footage, and the rights to creator content? Documented designer discontinuity in independent reviews is a verified Poor, not an inference.
Scores high — Explicit transfer of source files and full usage rights scores 4-5.
Scores low — Finals only, working files withheld, scores 2. Silence scores 2; at this price point silence usually resolves against the buyer. Separately, continuity: the same named designers month to month scores 4-5, a rotating pool with no continuity guarantee scores 1-2.
What we found — Ownership is entirely unaddressed. No page read states who owns final files, source or working files, raw photography and video footage, or the usage rights to UGC and creator content; /terms-of-service/ returns a genuine 404, so there is no public contract language to read either. Rubric guidance is that silence here scores 2. Continuity is the better half: the homepage sells a "Dedicated Account Manager & Lead Strategist" rather than a queue, /who-we-are/ names five people including the CEO and Director of Operations, and a client testimonial praises account-manager consistency - so this is not a rotating anonymous pool. But no designer or editor continuity is promised, and the ownership silence dominates a dimension where the buyer is commissioning original photography and video. That is what the low band describes, which is why it scored Weak.

Pricing and contract transparencyAdequate
Adequate — 3 of 5 on this rubric’s scale, from Poor (1) to Excellent (5). This dimension carries 10% of the total score.
Benchmark — across the 42 other agencies evaluated in this discipline, this dimension runs Excellent 1 · Strong 9 · Adequate 6 · Weak 26. The typical agency here scores Weak, and 10 of them score higher than this one.
What this dimension measures: Published tiers with an unstated volume ceiling score 3. Note any minimum spend, and note whether pausing is permitted, since seasonal advertisers pause.
Scores high — Published per-asset, per-month or per-round pricing scores 4-5. Month-to-month or per-project scores 4-5.
Scores low — Bespoke-only quoting with no public anchor scores 1-2. Twelve-month lock-in on a production service scores 2 — production is inherently variable in volume and a long lock is a transfer of that risk to the buyer.
What we found — The site has a page titled Pricing that publishes no price. Its full substance is that "Packages are based on total ad spend, optimizations, and growth" and that custom teams are built per client, with a contact button. Two anchors exist outside that page: Clutch publishes a minimum project size of $5,000+ and a 10-49 employee band, and the homepage carries a partner quote saying "I also really like that they are month to month." Month-to-month on a production service is buyer-favourable and there is no evidence of a twelve-month lock. Net: a public floor and a short commitment, but no per-asset, per-round or per-month figure from the vendor itself, and no stated minimum ad spend. That is between the two bands, which is why it scored Adequate.

Verdict
Voy Media is a real, operating New York performance marketing agency founded around 2016, running paid social and search buying with a named Creative Studio line attached. The site is readable and consistent: a nonsense URL returns a true 404, so nothing here was scored from a page that answered 200 to everything. The case study index lists roughly thirty-five named clients across ecommerce, supplements, education and, more recently, crypto and Web3 work, and eight of those are tagged Creative Studio, which is what makes performance creative a productized line here rather than an add-on to media buying.
The structural strength is the one that matters most in this category and is hardest to fake: the same firm buys the media, so the creative team has native access to what the ads actually did. The Quick Zip Sheets case study spells out the loop over about a year - test creatives, angles and audiences, scale the profitable ads, keep fresh successors on standby - and reports 5+ ROAS sustained, 128% year-over-year revenue growth and 24% higher returning-customer rate.
That is ship-and-learn rather than ship-and-stop, and it separates this vendor from the design-subscription tier. The Creative Studio pages also show real sample work - product photography, unboxing video and UGC compilations for Paw, Gosun and PomaBrush - so the portfolio is not an empty claim.
The weakness is documentation of the operating discipline. Across eight pages there is no brand guideline intake, no named QC or preflight step, no statement of who catches an off-brand asset, no aspect ratios or placement specs, no turnaround per variant round, no localization evidence beyond an ad-delivery reach figure, and no rights or ownership language at all - the terms-of-service URL is a hard 404.
For a buyer commissioning original photography, video and creator content, the absence of any licensing or source-file statement is the single largest gap. The pricing page is titled Pricing and contains no price; the only public anchors are Clutch's $5,000+ minimum and a customer testimonial saying the engagement is month to month.
The independent review base is thin enough that it constrains what can be concluded. Clutch shows a single verified review at 5.0; Trustpilot shows a 4.3 TrustScore over seven reviews with none in the past twelve months on an unclaimed profile; a Yelp listing exists but returned 403 and was not read, so no Yelp figures are cited here.
Against that, the site carries large unverifiable outcome claims - "$357M revenue generated" and "92% of clients have doubled their revenue in their first year" - with no methodology. What remains unknown for a buyer is almost everything operational: per-client monthly output, revision turnaround, who owns the files, and whether the marquee names on the case study wall reflect current engagements.

What other platforms say
Positive but very thin. The single Clutch review (5.0, verified) praises targeting and communication - "A+ communication", regular email updates and weekly phone calls - and reports large traffic and conversion gains. Trustpilot shows 4.3 across seven reviews, all five-star, on an unclaimed profile with zero reviews in the last twelve months. Both bases are too small to establish a pattern, and neither speaks to creative throughput, revision speed, designer continuity or file ownership. A Yelp listing exists but returned HTTP 403 and could not be read first-hand, so no Yelp rating or count is cited. Aggregator directory scores seen in search results were not read first-hand and are not cited.
These are other platforms' numbers, not ours. We report them because they are part of the picture, and we do not average them into our score — our score comes from the published rubric above.
Red flags
- The homepage claims "92% of clients have doubled their revenue in their first year" and "$357M revenue generated" with no methodology, timeframe or sample definition attached. These are large, specific outcome claims that a buyer cannot check.
- A page titled Pricing that contains no price. Publishing a pricing page and then withholding every figure gives less transparency than the label promises.
- The independent review base is very small - one Clutch review and seven Trustpilot reviews, with nothing on Trustpilot in the past twelve months - which is unusually thin for an agency that has operated since roughly 2016 and claims 10-49 staff.
What we could not verify
- How many creatives does one client actually receive per month? The only figure published is an agency-wide 13,721 with no client count behind it.
- How long is a revision round? No turnaround is published for a creative iteration anywhere on the site.
- Who owns the source files, raw photography and video footage, and what licence covers UGC and influencer content after the engagement ends?
- Is there any brand guideline intake or preflight check before work reaches client review, and who is accountable for an off-brand asset?
- What does an engagement cost? No per-asset, per-round or per-month figure is published; the only anchor is a $5,000+ minimum listed on Clutch.
- Is the month-to-month term an actual published policy or just one customer's experience? It appears only inside a testimonial quote.
- Are the marquee names on the case study wall - Lacoste, Hims, Dr. Squatch, Magic Spoon, Lumin - current engagements, past ones, or single campaigns? Several carry no case study content at all.
- Can creative be localized for non-English markets, or is the "122 countries" figure purely ad delivery reach?
- Is there any minimum ad spend, and can a seasonal advertiser pause?
