Media Buying Review from Ahanaf Ruzlan Rahman
We have been working with Geeky Social for our media buying and performance marketing, primarily focusing on Facebook and Instagram campaigns for Travela. Our experience so far has been very positive. Since collaborating with their team, our campaigns have become much more structured, optimized, and performance-driven. We are seeing consistent improvements in reach, engagement, and overall campaign performance across our social platforms.
One of the most noticeable outcomes is that our Facebook and Instagram marketing efforts are performing significantly better than before. Their team pays close attention to data, audience targeting, and campaign optimization, which has helped us run more effective ads and improve overall marketing efficiency.
Beyond performance, the best thing about Geeky Social is their attitude and approach to client service. The team is extremely humble, responsive, and professional in every interaction. They take time to understand the business goals and are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure campaigns run smoothly.
Their passion for what they do is very evident. Whether it is discussing strategy, reviewing campaign results, or suggesting improvements, they are always proactive and supportive. It feels less like working with an external agency and more like working with a dedicated extension of our own team.
Overall, we appreciate their commitment, behavior, and service mindset, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.

Claire Hagar's Review Sourced from Google
I honestly can’t say enough good things about the team at Magnet. It’s one thing to find experts, but it’s another thing entirely to find a team this genuinely kind. Their culture is fantastic. Everyone is approachable, helpful, and eager to jump in. It makes a world of difference to work with people who are as down-to-earth as they are capable.

Cullen Blanchfield's Review Sourced from Google
The negative reviews are completely puzzling to me. I've worked with Magnet on a handful of occasions as a DP with a variety of crew sizes and everyone I've been involved with has been nothing but a pleasure to work with. Their producers are very experienced and they are true professionals. It's a privilege to work with production companies such as these and I'd recommend them to both above and below the line crew time and time again.

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
