What Actually Drives Cost
1) Scope & Deliverables
Channels covered, content volume, and reporting cadence are the biggest levers. Define “done” clearly.
- Number of platforms, campaigns, and experiments per month
- Creative formats (static, motion, video)
- Depth of analytics & insights reporting
2) Speed & Seniority
Short timelines and senior hands-on involvement increase cost—but often reduce risk and rework.
- Turnaround SLAs (24–72 hours vs. weekly)
- Strategy workshops and stakeholder alignment
3) Complexity
Multi-language, multi-country, or regulated industries require specialized processes and QA.
- Multiple geos or Arabic/English content
- Compliance and approval workflows
4) Creative & Production
Video, motion, and studio shoots are separate cost centers. Budget accordingly.
- Motion graphics, UGC, or live-action shoots
- Editing rounds and licensing
