      Web Development Review from Osama Abdelaal

      Unfortunately, my experience with Dot IT was disappointing, particularly regarding their after-sales service. Despite receiving a notification that our website was finished, over 70% of the basic functions for an online store were missing upon review. This was not the standard I expected from an experienced company, especially given the premium price we paid. While we worked together to address the feedback, I ended up contributing to the development process myself to expedite progress. After making the final paymenton the understanding that we would continue refining the website during the agreed three-month technical support periodI was met with limited follow-up on my comments. I provided organized feedback in a Google Doc, categorized as critical or normal, expecting proactive communication and updates. Instead, I had to engage in constant follow-ups, a process I only expect when working with freelancers, not professional agencies. This lack of initiative was frustrating, especially as I had communicated my prior negative experiences with freelancers and chose Dot IT for a seamless, professional service. Additionally, while we agreed to use the same server and hosting, the basic theme used was a surprise. I had anticipated more effort in redesigning the site, particularly as that was the primary reason for the contract.

      I recently worked with EDS for advertising in two leading newspapers as part of a business license deregistration process. Although I was based in Abu Dhabi, the team—especially Subhendu and Prabhu—went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly, making the distance a non-issue. They handled the advertising with professionalism and even went the extra mile to secure hard copies of the newspapers for me, which was immensely helpful. Their dedication, attention to detail, and exceptional customer service truly stood out. I highly recommend EDS to anyone seeking reliable and supportive marketing services in the UAE.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Aspect Media planning Media buying
Main role Builds the strategy Executes the strategy
Focus Audience, channels, timing, budget Negotiation, placement, delivery
Goal Choose the best mix of platforms Get the best price and placements
Tasks Research audience, select channels, allocate budget Purchase ads, manage bids, optimize placements
Output Media plan Live campaign and ad placements

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. TV, CTV/OTT, programmatic, paid social, search, OOH

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 in 2 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 take 8 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
