Boutique Marketing Agency
Specialized marketing organization that generally works with smaller teams than larger agencies. The primary benefit of working with such an organization is that they create unique marketing plans catered to your organization and industry in ways that are more personalized than traditional agencies can often provide. Boutique agencies are generally less well-known, however, and due to their size maintain more limited client portfolios.

Benchmarks
In digital marketing, a benchmark is a specific metric that you compare results to. A benchmark can relate to impressions, clicks, open rate, sales, or many other metrics. An established threshold is then used to determine success or failure of a particular campaign or piece of content. Benchmarks for an email campaign, for example, might be 20% open rate, 2% click through rate, and 0.5% sales rate on a product that the email is highlighting.
The success or failure of the campaign would be measured against these numbers. Ideally, you’re developing benchmarks based on past campaign results in order to create personalized benchmarks for your business that allow you to compare across marketing channels.

Cost Per Acquisition (CPA)
Cost Per Acquisition first involves creating a target action (e.g. purchasing a product), then calculates how much money is being spent in advertising dollars for one of these actions to be completed. Reducing CPA in your marketing channels, and comparing types of ads to see which is more effective, can be a useful way to reduce unnecessary costs.
