      Video Production Review from Bryce McPartland

      We were referred to colormatics by our ad people at krem. We compared pricing and products of colormatics against a number of industry-specific marketing providers. Colormatics had the strongest portfolio and, surprisingly, offered exceptional pricing. Colormatics laid out a full shoot schedule which was pre-approved. They arrived on scene early one morning and traveled across central Washington to four separate locations to make an exceptionally tight yet comprehensive video about our firm. We began around 8 am and wrapped about 430 pm. Colormatics maintained excellent lines of communication including via email, text, cell and the video editing platform that they utilized. I always felt "in the loop" with them.

      Video Production Review from Allison Grunthaner Gibicsar

      Colormatics has been an outstanding partner in creating a huge amount of assets needed for our biggest product launch of 2023. This includes but is not limited to: social media videos, product videos, mattress cutaway visualizations, YouTube bumpers, edited b-roll, and more. The whole team is always willing to hop on the phone or quickly answer an email, with fast asset delivery and willingness to bring forth suggestions/solves outside of their scope.

      Video Production Review from Ryan Throckmorton

      Our team developed the idea of showcasing individuals who are making a positive impact online within their own communities. When we shared the concept with Colormatics, they immediately explored creative ways to bring it to life visually. They transformed our vision into a compelling visual narrative. The final piece blended live-action footage with motion graphics. We conducted interviews and also wanted to highlight the social media activity of these community members. Their profiles were used as a storytelling device, appearing almost like flashbacks, but animated in a way that made the content feel like it was unfolding in real time. We’re now experimenting with turning interview voiceovers into animated illustrations. We believe these could resonate even more on social platforms. The plan was to compare performance between the two video styles, and we’re looking forward to testing them soon.

      Working with this digital marketing agency has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of our goals and crafted a strategy that felt both tailored and forward-thinking. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism, creativity, and a genuine commitment to delivering results. What truly sets them apart is their ability to combine data-driven insights with innovative ideas. Our online presence has grown significantly, engagement has soared, and we’ve seen measurable improvements in conversions and brand visibility. They don’t just execute campaigns—they continuously optimize, refine, and push for better outcomes. Communication has been seamless throughout. The team is responsive, transparent, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure clarity and success. It’s rare to find a partner that feels like an extension of your own team, but that’s exactly what they’ve become for us. If you’re looking for a digital marketing partner that is reliable, strategic, and truly invested in your success, this is the company to choose. Highly recommended.

      I have worked in outreach efforts as a sort of spokesperson, with other firms and also R&R Partners and I have to say all the firms have been good and professional. R&R not only excelled there, but they were very helpful and encouraging when I was nervous. I am not a professional by a long shot, but they made me feel like one during the shoots. I have seen their work for the fundraising promotions they have done for many years for the hospital and clinic where I am a patient. Each year they keep raising the bar and I am honored that I got to work with them. The people I worked with have been with the firm for many years. In this day and age of technology, that is not common. Thank you for your work and how you continue to drive the fundraising for the ALS clinic and Barrow as a whole.

The whole production crew were professional, down to earth and incredibly nice to everyone involved. I enjoyed their company so much that I consider them friends now.

Media Buying Agency FAQs

What services do media buying agencies in the United States provide?

These types of agencies help brands with: 

  • Performance-focused digital campaigns: High-demand campaigns across Meta, TikTok, YouTube, Search, and CTV, prioritizing short-form video and measurable, creative-led performance. 
  • Full-funnel paid media tied to creative-led campaigns: Roughly 60% to 70% of clients bundle creative and media for faster cycles, fewer handoffs, and performance-built creative. 
  • Programmatic and CTV packages: Growing rapidly, with challenger brands investing $15K to $150K per month for scalable reach, automated targeting, and measurable lift. 
  • Paid social advertising: Cross-platform campaigns delivering 1% to 2% average conversion rates, with top performers exceeding 3% on Meta and TikTok. 
  • Audience & competitive analysis: Audience research and competitor benchmarking to guide budget allocation and identify the highest-ROI channels. 
  • Analytics & performance reporting: Real-time KPI tracking, A/B testing, and optimization across impressions, CPM, CTR, conversions, ROAS, and attribution paths. 

How much do media buying services in the US cost?

Most media buying agencies charge between $100 and $150 per hour. They rely on a mix of retainers, spend-based fees, and setup costs, depending on scope and complexity.  

These numbers are based on industry research and expert insights from Colormatics:  

Fee Type  Typical Cost Range  Notes 
Monthly retainer  $1,500 to $10,000  Based on complexity and channel mix 
% of media spend  10% to 20%   Scales with spend and performance scope 
One-time setup fee  $1,500 to $3,000 Tracking, pixels, dashboards, QA 
Hourly rate  $100 to $150+  Specialized strategy or audits 

Beyond agency fees, overall campaign budgets vary significantly based on scale, channels, and timelines. The table below outlines common budget ranges for different types of media buying engagements. 

Campaign Type  Budget Range  Typical Scope 
Pilot campaigns  ~$25,000  1 to 2 platforms, short run 
Integrated campaigns  $50,000 to $300,000  Multi-channel, performance tracking 
Large/national campaigns  Up to $500,000 12 to 24 weeks, heavy media mix 

 

When can clients expect ROI from paid media campaigns?

ROI timelines vary by channel based on learning cycles, inventory dynamics, and optimization requirements. This table outlines when early performance signals usually appear and when results tend to stabilize. 

Channel  Early Signals  Stable Performance 
Paid social  7 to 21 days 30 to 45 days 
Google Search  3 to 10 days (with volume)  8 to 12 weeks
YouTube  5 to 10 days 3 to 4 weeks 
CTV/Programmatic 4 to 8 weeks  10 to 12 weeks

 

What are the typical timelines for media buying projects from planning to launch?

Project timelines depend on campaign scale, creative complexity, and channel mix. These are typical expectations from strategy and setup through launch and ongoing optimization. 

Campaign Size Planning & Setup Build & QA Optimization Cadence Total Timeline
Small-scale 1 to 2 weeks 3 to 5 days Weekly  4 to 8 weeks 
Mid-size  2 to 3 weeks  1 week  2-3× weekly  8 to 12 weeks 
Large/Multi-channel  3 to 5 weeks  1 to 2 weeks  Daily 12 weeks to 6 months 

 

What KPIs should your business track when working with these agencies?

When working with a media buying agency in the US, KPIs should be selected to reflect both media efficiency and business impact, ensuring performance is measured beyond surface-level engagement.  

Key KPIs to monitor include: 

  • Impressions, reach, frequency, and CPM to assess delivery efficiency and audience exposure 
  • Click-through rate (CTR), cost per click (CPC), engagement rate, and video completion rate to evaluate creative and audience relevance 
  • Conversion rate, cost per acquisition (CPA), return on ad spend (ROAS), and customer acquisition cost (CAC) to measure profitability and scalability 
  • Attribution coverage, assisted conversions, and incrementality to understand paid media’s true contribution across channels 
  • Budget pacing, spend utilization, and testing velocity to gauge operational discipline and optimization effectiveness
