4 Things To Consider Before Choosing An Ad Agency

If you’re considering hiring an ad agency but you don’t know where to start then don’t worry, you have come to the right place. Whether you’re hiring them to help with a project or you want them to come on board on a permanent basis, it’s important you’re thinking of absolutely everything before you get started. Whilst it may seem a difficult decision, to begin with, there are a number of questions you can ask yourself to help you make the best possible choice.

With that in mind, here are 4 things to consider before choosing an ad agency: 

What Is Your Budget?

The first thing you need to consider is the cost of hiring an agency. Not only will this give you an idea of how much you want to spend, but it will allow you to choose an agency that is not out of your budget. 

Whether you’re looking at a budget for a single project or you’re looking at a monthly budget, you need to be sure you know exactly how much it is going to cost you.

The best thing to do in order to get the right figure is to research the average cost of ad agencies in your area, as this will be the only way you’ll get a true representative. For more information when it comes to setting a budget as a business, you can visit this site here. 

Have You Put Together A Brief?

Another important thing you need to consider before you pick an ad agency is the brief you’re going to send them. Whilst this doesn’t need to be fully formed during the application stage, you do need to have an idea of what it is you want in order for them to give you an accurate quote. If you’re struggling, consider the deliverables and ROI you want to achieve. 

How Long Do You Need To Hire Them For?

Before you make your final decision it is important you are considering how long you want to hire your agency for.

Although it may seem as though it’s not important at the time, you will find that some agencies are better at one-off campaigns and some are better at month by month results. To make the best possible decision, you need to be sure of what it is you’re after before you hire someone. 

Have You Met Them In Person?

If you’re going to be working with an ad agency for a long period of time, you want to be sure you have a strong relationship from the start. One of the best ways to do this is to meet all of your potential choices during the pitching stages. Although it may take a long time to meet with several different agencies, it will also help ensure you’re making the best decision you can.
