Dashboard Design Review from Tappan Parker
Outright helped us design and develop the Systems Change Lab data platform. They worked with us every step of the way to come up with innovative and intuitive designs that worked well for us in our development process and for our users in understanding our data and research. They had quick turn arounds and really helped us get to a product that we still get compliments on the design of today. Outright was fabulous to work with and I'd absolutely recommend them for your next design project!

Video Production Review from Idel Mena
They were an incredible partner from start to finish. They led the full creative direction and production for our campaign featuring Michael Douglas, delivering a video that not only looked amazing but performed exceptionally well, earning over 6 million views on YouTube and significantly more across paid channels.
What stood out most was their ability to translate our mission into content that resonated across the political spectrum, engaging both conservative and liberal audiences. They brought strong creative and strategic thinking to the table, not just execution.
The team was highly responsive, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire process, and they handled high-profile talent seamlessly. Across multiple campaigns, including local initiatives, they consistently delivered high-quality work and exceeded expectations.
We fully trust them as a partner and would absolutely work with them again.

Branding Review from Elyssa Katz
The Outright team is an absolute joy to work with! They took us from a kernel of a brand identity to a fully realized brand, merging two organizations, cultures, and constituencies into one under significant time constraints. Since we began working with Outright in August of 2024, we have developed and launched our core brand and related assets as well as three event brands, three sub brands, and a variety of practical digital and print assets. Not only is Outright's creative consistently excellent, but they are also a practical partner able to work with agility as an extension of your team. Our experience was so positive in initial brand development work that we've continued to work together for over 18 months and have signed them as a partner for separate digital campaign projects where they again delivered results that accomplished our internal team goals and exceeded the expectations of our external stakeholders. I would recommend Outright to anyone looking for a true creative thought partner.

SEO Review from Kameron Laurence
I've been extremely impressed with the work Elite Information Tech has done for us. Their SEO skills are excellent, but what really sets them apart is that their expertise goes well beyond SEO. They understand the bigger picture website performance, strategy, and content, and they’ve quite literally helped with everything from A to Z when it comes to handling our online presence. They're responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my company. If you're looking for a company that can handle SEO and more, I highly recommend them!

SEO Review from R Blake Miller
I have worked with Elite for years on a number of projects, this one was all encompassing and required a lot of project management. When I have something challenging, I trust Elite to take care of a lot, and I rarely trust vendors with such integral parts of my business. They have know-how plus top quality workers. I'll be working with them again, and look forward to continuing my projects with them moving forward.

TEC Direct Media has helped us on several projects, and has been instrumental in helping our agency "learn the ropes" about programmatic and all things digital. We're always learning new things about digital for our clients, and TEC Direct has always been there when we have a question. They have helped us on two projects in 2016, and each of those were successful and those clients will continue with us in 2017. We consider TEC Direct a strategic partner. D.

I've been working with the Lockhern team for several months and they have been excellent — super hands on, easier to work with. They were able to solve some persistent technology and tracking issues that we could not solve internally or with other agencies within a very short period of time, which got us into a much better place for attribution. Very much recommend!

Samantha Anne's Review Sourced from Google
We've worked with Lockhern Digital for over a year and have been more than pleased with their performance. Their team brings genuine creativity to our ad strategy, developing campaigns that connect with our audience rather than generic cookie-cutter approaches.
What impressed us most is their thoroughness in analyzing our online practices. They conduct detailed audits, identify opportunities we missed, and provide clear analytics that help us understand campaign performance.
The results speak for themselves - improved online visibility and web traffic, better conversion rates, and a return on ad spend that continues to exceed our expectations. The team is always responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in our success.
I’d highly recommend Lockhern to businesses looking for a digital agency that’s a true partner.

Studio Rental: We recently rented Impact Media’s studio space for some client interviews. It was a great space! They had it prepped for us on arrival. They have a great conference/green room right next door so the talent could be comfortable while we set up. Even though it was not the largest space it’s organized and efficient set up and we were able to fit a two camera interview against a solid backdrop.
Overall the Impact team was hospitable and constantly checked in if we needed anything. We will be renting this space again in the future!

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.

7 Frequently Asked Questions About Media Buying Agencies
Which platforms do media buying companies manage?
Media buying firms manage major advertising platforms where your audience spends time, both online and offline. They handle campaigns across multiple channels to reach people at different stages of the buying journey and to improve overall results.
Paid search and social Agencies run ads on platforms like Google, Bing, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. These channels drive targeted traffic, leads, and sales based on user intent and behavior.
Programmatic and display They use demand-side platforms to buy ad space automatically across websites and apps. This includes banner, video, and native ads, all optimized in real time.
CTV and OTT (Streaming ads) A media buying firm places ads on streaming services and smart TVs to help brands reach audiences who no longer watch traditional cable.
Traditional media They still buy ad space on TV, radio, print, and billboards when it makes sense for reach and brand awareness.
Audio and Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) Ads on Spotify, podcasts, and digital billboards in public spaces like malls, highways, and transit stations.
What is the difference between media planning and media buying agencies?
Media planning agencies decide where, when, and how to advertise. Media buying firms execute that plan by purchasing ad space and managing placements.
Planning sets the strategy; buying delivers the ads.

How do media buyers choose the right channels for a campaign?
Media buyers choose channels by matching audience behavior, campaign goals, and budget to the platforms most likely to deliver results. They rely on data to see where people spend time and shift spend toward what performs best.
Business size
How agencies choose advertising channels
Typical channels
Small business
Focus on low-cost, high-return channels with quick feedback. Prioritize direct response and easy tracking.
Google Ads (search), Facebook/Instagram, TikTok
Mid-size business
Balance growth and efficiency. Test multiple channels and scale what works. Combine awareness and conversions.
Paid social, Google Ads, YouTube, programmatic display
Large business
Maximize reach and brand impact while maintaining performance. Use a full-funnel strategy across many channels.
Core logic stays the same at every level: reach the right audience, support the campaign goal, and invest where return is strongest.
How much do media buying companies' services cost?
Media buying firms usually charge a percentage of your ad spend, typically between 3% and 10%, or a flat monthly fee depending on campaign size. Smaller budgets pay higher percentages, while large budgets get lower rates.
Typical pricing models:
Percentage of ad spend: 5% to 10% for most campaigns
Flat monthly fee: $2,000 to $15,000+, depending on scope
Project-based (strategy/planning): $1,500 to $50,000+
Setup fees: 2% to 3% of initial spend (one-time)
How pricing scales:
Ad spend
Typical fee
$10,000-$100,000
8%-10%
$100,000-$1M
5%-8%
$1M-$10M
3.5%-5%
$10M+
3%-4%
Costs depend on your ad budget, the number of channels, campaign complexity, targeting depth, creative needs, and the amount of ongoing management and reporting required.
You are not just paying for ad placement. You're paying for strategy, execution, optimization, and performance improvement.
Is there a minimum spend?
There is no strict minimum spend, but in practice, you need at least $1,000 to $3,000 per month to generate enough data for optimization and results. Very small budgets, like $5 per day, rarely perform because they don’t generate enough clicks or conversions.
For better performance, campaigns should aim for at least 30 conversions per month, which often requires higher spend depending on your cost per click.
More advanced channels like programmatic or CTV usually require $5,000 to $10,000+ to run effectively, and many agencies set similar minimums to ensure campaigns are worth managing.
How long does it take to see results from media buying?
You can see initial results in2 to 4 weeks, but most campaigns need 2 to 3 months to stabilize and deliver consistent ROI.
Early signals like impressions, clicks, and some leads often appear within days to a few weeks, especially on paid social and search. However, platforms need time to learn and optimize, so stronger and more reliable results usually take8 to 12 weeks.
For more complex campaigns, such as B2B or high-ticket offers, meaningful revenue impact can take 3 to 6 months due to longer sales cycles and ongoing optimization.
What industries benefit from media buying services?
Media buying services deliver the most value to industries that depend on steady customer acquisition, strong competition, and precise targeting.
Those industries include:
eCommerce and retail: Drive online sales with targeted ads and retargeting
Real estate and construction: Promote listings and reach qualified buyers
Healthcare and wellness: Attract new patients with compliant, targeted campaigns
Technology and SaaS: Reach decision-makers in competitive markets
Hospitality and tourism: Capture demand with seasonal and location-based ads
Financial services and insurance: Generate leads and build trust through education
Automotive and local services: Drive inquiries and bookings through search and local ads
