Hiring Guide: How to Choose a Leading Media Buying Agencies in the US
What should I look for in a company’s track record or case studies?
As programmatically sold advertising is projected to reach over $400 billion in the US by 2026, evaluating a company’s track record requires a sharper focus on scale, sophistication, and measurable impact.
Case studies should go beyond isolated wins and demonstrate repeatable performance across channels, budgets, and market conditions.
- Quantified results such as ROAS, CPA reduction, revenue lift, or pipeline impact, with specific numbers
- Channel and media mix clarity, including how platforms were selected and sequenced
- Creative and testing strategy, showing how messaging, formats, or audiences were iterated to improve performance
- Scalability evidence, proving results held or improved as spend increased
- Attribution and measurement approach, explaining how success was tracked and validated
- Industry or use-case relevance, especially experience with similar budgets, markets, or buying models
Can a media buying agency manage both creative and media, or do I need additional vendors?
With 50% of connected TV advertising budgets expected to be transacted programmatically in 2025, the line between creative and media execution continues to blur, especially as campaigns increasingly combine CTV, digital, and traditional channels.
Traditional media continues to play a major role in large-scale reach, with more than 125 million TV households in the US and radio reaching 85.6% of American men over 55 each week. As a result, creative alignment becomes especially critical when managing campaigns that span linear TV, CTV, and digital platforms.
Many full-service media buying agencies now manage both creative and media to support this convergence, handling everything from ad development to placement, optimization, and performance measurement.
Others specialize strictly in media execution, requiring brands to bring creative in-house or work with additional vendors. The right model depends on how integrated and fast-moving the campaign needs to be, but as programmatic CTV scales, tighter creative-media coordination is increasingly a competitive advantage.
How do you choose the best agency in the United States for your goals?
1. Define your objectives
Clarify the business outcomes you want from paid media campaigns. Identify target audiences, key channels, budget ranges, timelines, and any internal constraints or dependencies.
2. Shortlist candidates
Identify 3 to 5 agencies with proven experience in your industry and media channels that match your objectives. Review case studies, client rosters, campaign outcomes, and awards to assess past performance.
3. Assess reputation and client feedback
Check independent review platforms, client testimonials, and references to evaluate reliability, service quality, and the ability to meet deadlines, KPIs, and budget commitments. Look for evidence of transparent media reporting and optimization practices.
4. Send a request for proposal (RFP)
Provide a detailed brief including campaign goals, target audiences, deliverables, reporting expectations, and timelines. A clear RFP ensures you receive comparable, actionable proposals from shortlisted agencies.
5. Conduct discovery and capability sessions
Meet with the shortlisted agencies to discuss their media buying approach, targeting strategies, creative-testing processes, programmatic or CTV capabilities, attribution frameworks, and collaboration model. This helps gauge their strategic fit and operational expertise.
6. Select an agency partner
Choose the agency that demonstrates strong strategic alignment, relevant experience, contemporary practices, and the ability to optimize campaigns as your business and market evolve. Ensure they can provide both performance-driven insights and transparent reporting.
