Looking for application marketing agency recommendations

Hi fellow developers!

I am looking for suggestions for iPhone application marketing agencies that have had a positive experiences with. I have dabbled in social media marketing in the past (I'm primarily a Facebook application developer), but I am by no means an expert at other forms of marketing. I feel that my game mechanics are tight, and the graphics are superb thanks to my graphic artist, but even so, but I don't want to take a crap-shot at marketing and have my application sink within the few first days. I have a fairly large budget, so I won't be cheaping-out on marketing.

I am looking for agencies that can provide (and follow-through with) a full plan for pre-launch, soft-launch and post-launch marketing campaigns. Something that encompasses:

Social media strategies
iPhone application description optimization
Press releases
Reviews
Creation of a game trailer

I've worked with agencies in the past (not for anything iPhone-related) and know from experience that many of them can "talk-the-talk" but not "walk-the-walk".

Please note that I am only really interested in hearing from people who have used marketing agencies and can comment on their experiences; not to be rude or anything, but I just don't want a bunch of non-informative replies.

Edit: I should mention that if this has the potential to turn into a quasi-spammy topic, feel free to PM me the details of your experiences, as well as the contact information for them.

Thanks!

-G.
