Frequently asked questions

What does a media agency do?

Media buying agencies are a type of creative agency that specialize in a certain type of marketing strategy.

Part of their strategy is also collecting insights on the target audience through special tracking on their ad campaigns.

Is a media agency the same thing as an advertising agency?

Ad agencies focus on the message of the ad and the display, however, the media buying agency works on implementing the media plan. They identify where the audience is and focus on making sure the marketing campaigns are going to the best possible channels.
Media buyers are typically the people placing the ads in various forms across different digital marketing channels.
Some of the digital strategies used by media buyers include things like SEO marketing, mobile marketing, video production, and marketing, social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, and affiliate marketing.
In some cases, they may focus on programmatic media and mobile app development.

What do media buying agencies charge?

Media agencies can charge for their marketing services in a couple of ways. Many media buyers earn a commission of their ad spend as a way to compensate them for their time doing market research and their creative design solutions.
However, it’s also likely you’ll encounter a media buyer who is looking to work on a fixed fee.
Depending on the project, don’t be surprised if you see both an hourly and a commission-based fee on an estimate.

What are the advantages of using media buying agencies?

Using a media buying agency can help small businesses and startups navigate the different mediums and metrics associated with running a digital media campaign. Their marketing services are designed based on market research and their strategy puts effectiveness over flashy messages.
Overall, using a full-service digital marketing agency with a comprehensive media strategy can help you see a better return on investment.

How does a media agency make money?
