Pricing FAQs

How agency fees really work

How much do media buying agencies charge?

Fees vary by model and spend level. Percentage-of-spend fees are common for small and mid-sized budgets and usually decrease as spend grows; flat fees and hybrid performance models are also widely used. We offer all three and quote to your specific setup.

Do you mark up media costs?

No. You pay advertising platforms directly from your own accounts. Our only charge is our agreed fee.

Is there a minimum contract?

We recommend a short initial term to allow testing and optimization, then month-to-month. We'll confirm the details in your proposal.

Which pricing model should I choose?

If your spend is growing fast, percentage of spend keeps fees aligned with scale. If you want predictable costs, choose a flat fee. If your tracking is reliable and margins are clear, the hybrid model aligns our incentives with your results.

What's included in the fee?

A dedicated buyer and strategist, tracking setup, media planning, weekly testing, a live dashboard and regular reviews. Only large add-ons like heavy creative production or MMM are quoted separately.

Can we start small and scale?

Yes. Many brands begin on one or two channels and expand as the data proves out. Your plan scales with you.
