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

How to Compare Proposals (Apples to Apples)

  1. Goals & KPIs: e.g., “increase qualified demo requests by 30% in 90 days.”
  2. Scope: channels, deliverables per month, experiments per quarter.
  3. Timelines & SLAs: content turnaround, reporting cadence, meeting rhythm.
  4. Assumptions: access, data, brand assets, legal approvals.
  5. Pricing Model: retainer vs. hybrid vs. performance‑linked.
