The Truth About Agency Pricing: Getting the Best Deal is the WORST Thing for Your Brand
In this hard-hitting episode, we expose the fundamental flaw in how brands select marketing agency partners. The marketing landscape has shifted dramatically – what was once a choice between one or two specialized partners has become a crowded marketplace with hundreds of agencies competing for your business.
The result? A dangerous race to the bottom on pricing that's creating a false economy for brands seeking growth.
We break down real agency economics with unfiltered transparency, revealing exactly what happens when you're offered four team members for just $4,000 monthly. The math doesn't lie: with junior media buyers costing $65,000 annually plus burden costs and agencies needing 20% margins to survive, your "bargain" partnership means you're getting roughly 10% of each team member's attention – about four hours monthly.
Can someone transform your business in four hours a month? The answer should concern every growth-focused founder.
P.S. We’re also sharing some foolproof vetting questions to help you avoid getting stuck in a bad agency relationship. Don’t miss out!
