Find & Compare Advertising Agencies in Your Area!

Advertising agencies plan, create and place paid messages: TV and radio spots, print and outdoor, online display, paid search and paid social. Some handle everything from concept to media buying; others focus on creative production or on buying space. Visitors here usually have a launch, a seasonal push, or a budget they want spent with more discipline.

Ask how the agency is paid, because it shapes the advice: a monthly retainer, a project fee and a percentage of media spend each create different incentives. Ask whether ad accounts are opened in your name and whether you own the finished creative, including the source files. Look at campaigns made for businesses your size, not only the showpiece brand work. Ask what reporting you will see, and whether results are measured in sales and leads or in impressions. A marketing consultant can help if you are not yet sure what to buy.
