Advertising agencies
46 agencies·318 sources·Methodology v1
Direct answer
Advertising agencies sit at the intersection of brand, creative, and paid media. Building the ad concepts, producing the assets, and running the campaigns that put them in front of audiences. The category covers everything from performance-creative shops producing high-volume testable ads to integrated agencies running full brand campaigns across paid social, search, programmatic, video, and connected TV. Evaluate partners on the quality of their creative reel, the velocity of their production pipeline, the depth of their media operators, and how they connect creative iteration to media performance. Strong advertising partners publish their work, share named teams, and report measurable brand and acquisition outcomes rather than just impressions and reach.

Frequently asked
Buyer questions about advertising agencies
- What does an advertising agency do?
- An advertising agency builds ad concepts, produces the creative assets, and runs the campaigns that put them in front of audiences. Modern advertising shops span performance creative for paid social, full brand campaigns across video and CTV, and integrated media planning.
- How is an advertising agency different from a marketing agency?
- Advertising agencies focus on paid placements: creative production and media execution. Marketing agencies cover a broader remit including lifecycle, SEO, content, analytics, and brand. Most modern shops blur the line, but the strongest advertising partners are still defined by their creative and media output.
- How much do advertising agencies charge?
- Project-based brand work typically runs $50,000–$500,000 per campaign. Retained advertising agencies charge $15,000–$150,000+ monthly depending on scope, creative volume, and media management. Performance-creative shops often price per asset, from $300–$2,000 per video.
- How do I pick the right advertising agency?
- Review the public creative reel and judge it against your category. Confirm the pitch team is the delivery team. Ask for named clients in your size range. Verify their media operators are in-house, not subcontracted. Match their typical engagement model to your budget cadence.
