Frequently asked questions

How much do mid-market communications agencies typically cost?

Most independent agencies operate on monthly retainers starting between five thousand and fifteen thousand dollars, depending on the scope of media relations, content creation, and digital marketing services required.

Why choose an independent communications agency over a global holding group?

Independent agencies generally offer senior-level attention, faster decision-making, greater flexibility, and less bureaucracy than massive conglomerates tied to legacy holding structures.

How long do communications agency contracts usually last?

Agencies typically require an initial commitment of six to twelve months to properly develop a narrative, build media relationships, and execute meaningful brand campaigns.
