The project
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Migliore Agenzia: who we are, how we work, why we exist, and our editorial methodology.
-
What is Migliore Agenzia?
Migliore Agenzia is an independent online magazine dedicated to marketing, communications, PR, and event management in Italy. Our goal is to provide useful, concrete, data-driven information to entrepreneurs and professionals who need to make decisions about their marketing investments.
We are not an agency, we don't sell services, and we don't offer consulting. We are an editorial project that publishes guides, comparative analyses, checklists, and in-depth articles to help those seeking honest answers about how marketing really works.
-
Who is behind the project?
Migliore Agenzia is a knowledge-sharing project by Deep Marketing, created to help businesses choose wisely who to trust with their marketing — avoiding hype-peddlers (“fuffaguru”), unrealistic promises, and the risks of uninformed decisions.
The daily work of research, writing, and fact-checking is carried out by an editorial team — researchers, journalists, and industry professionals — producing content following a rigorous, data-driven, verifiable method.
-
What is the relationship with Deep Marketing?
Migliore Agenzia is an editorial initiative by Deep Marketing, a marketing agency based in Verona. We state it openly: the project's publisher is also a player in the market it describes, which is a structural conflict of interest that we manage with full transparency.
That's why Deep Marketing is treated exactly like any other agency: included in the directory under the same objective criteria, with no privileged ranking and no ratings assigned by us (ratings come from third-party sources). The criteria and mitigation measures are described in detail on the directory methodology page.
-
How are articles written?
Every article follows a structured editorial process:
- Research: contributors gather data from authoritative third-party sources — industry reports (Gartner, Forrester, McKinsey, Statista), platform benchmarks (Google, Meta, HubSpot), academic studies, and trade association data (IAB, UPA, FERPI).
- Writing: every claim is supported by data, statistics, or verifiable references. We don't publish personal opinions disguised as facts.
- Fact-checking: cited data is verified against the original source. Sources are always linked in the "Sources and References" section of each article.
- Updates: articles are periodically reviewed to ensure the data remains current.
-
Is there an expert perspective behind the articles?
Yes, and deliberately so. Behind the content is Deep Marketing's experience: over twenty years of hands-on marketing work, used to weigh concepts, contextualize data, and above all avoid the shining object syndrome — the tendency to chase the latest trend without verifying whether it actually works.
This perspective is not a random opinion: it's the filter of those who have seen dozens of hype cycles and can tell solid foundations from noise. That said, every claim remains anchored to verifiable data and sources — experience guides topic selection and depth of analysis, not the conclusions.
-
What sources do you use?
We rely exclusively on authoritative, neutral third-party sources:
- Industry reports: Gartner, Forrester, McKinsey, Deloitte, Nielsen, Statista, eMarketer, WARC
- Platforms: Google, Meta, LinkedIn, HubSpot (official data and benchmarks)
- Trade associations: UPA, ADCI, Assocom, FERPI, IAB Italia, WFA
- Press: Il Sole 24 Ore, Ad Age, Adweek, The Drum, Campaign, Marketing Dive
- Academic research: international universities and research centers
We never cite blogs or content from Italian marketing agencies that sell services, to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure neutrality.
-
What topics do the articles cover?
Our content covers seven thematic areas, all related to choosing and evaluating marketing services:
- Guides: comprehensive guides on how to choose an agency, evaluate a portfolio, read a contract, compare quotes
- Marketing: digital and traditional marketing strategies — SEO, Google Ads, content, email, social — with cost data and benchmarks
- Communication: internal and external corporate communications, communication plans, crisis management
- PR: public relations, press offices, media relations — how they work and what they cost
- Events: corporate event planning, costs, suppliers, criteria for choosing an event agency
- How-To: practical, step-by-step guides with checklists and tools
- Lists: rankings, comparisons, top 10s — always based on data and transparent criteria
-
Does Migliore Agenzia earn money from this project?
No. Migliore Agenzia has no advertising revenue, doesn't sell consulting, and has no commercial affiliations. It is an editorial project entirely supported by Deep Marketing as a contribution to the industry and to marketing culture.
We do not accept sponsored articles, paid placements, or commissioned reviews. This allows us to be completely free in our evaluations and recommendations.
-
Can I contact you to report an error or suggest a topic?
Absolutely. You can reach us through the contact form at the bottom of this page or at the email address provided. We appreciate reports of errors, outdated data, or topics you'd like to see covered. Every suggestion is reviewed by our editorial team.
-
How often do you publish?
We maintain a solid and consistent editorial calendar to ensure continuity for our readers. Each article is a complex project: it requires in-depth research, source verification, comparative analysis, and revision — it's not content that can be produced in an hour.
Our goal is to provide the maximum amount of information and comparisons in every piece, because we believe marketing deserves serious content. This is our contribution to the industry and the market: spreading knowledge and marketing culture to help businesses make informed choices and avoid being taken advantage of.
-
What is the agency directory?
Migliore Agenzia's directory is a listing of marketing, communications, PR and event agencies operating in Italy, designed to help businesses get oriented and choose wisely. It is built on public data and transparent criteria, with no paid placements. It currently covers Veneto (all 7 provinces) and is progressively expanding to other regions. Explore it from the agency directory page.
-
How are agencies included? Can you pay to be listed or ranked higher?
No. Inclusion follows objective, uniform criteria applied to every agency: industry activity with a verifiable online presence, an operating location, and a minimum public-verifiability threshold (at least 5 Google reviews). There is no application, and you cannot pay to be listed or to improve your position. Full details in the methodology.
-
Where does the data and the ratings come from?
Exclusively from public sources accessible to anyone: the Business Register (company name, VAT number, registered office), the agency's website (services, team), and third-party review platforms (Google, Clutch) for ratings and review counts. Ratings are reported as received from the source, with no editorial processing on our part. See data sources.
-
Do you cover all of Italy or only Veneto?
The project is national by design: the goal is to cover the country's main areas. We start from Veneto (7 provinces, hundreds of agencies) and are gradually extending to other regions. The absence of an agency or an area is not a negative judgment: it reflects the public data available at the time of collection.
-
I'm an agency: how do I correct my data or remove my listing?
Use the form on the correction and removal page, or write to info@deepmarketing.it. You can request rectification of your data or exercise your right to object/erasure (GDPR art. 21). We respond within 30 days.
-
How do you handle agencies' data?
The data controller is Deep Marketing. We process only already-public data, on the basis of legitimate interest (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)) to inform the market; we do not share it with third parties or use it for profiling. Full rights and details in the directory privacy notice.
-
Is Deep Marketing in the directory? Isn't that a conflict of interest?
Yes, and it is openly declared. Deep Marketing is the directory's publisher and is also an agency operating in the market: a structural conflict we manage transparently. It is included under the same criteria as every other agency, with no privileged position, and we assign no ratings ourselves (they come from third-party sources). Mitigation measures are described in the methodology.
