What retainers actually include
A healthy retainer is a rhythm: quarterly direction, monthly plans and weekly execution. Search and paid social push growth; content and CRO make it convert. Reporting is a dashboard that explains what’s working and what you’ll try next. In Beirut, banking/telecom work often needs tighter approvals—plan bandwidth accordingly.
When projects make more sense
Pick projects when the outcome is finite—a launch, migration, rebuild or analytics overhaul. Many Lebanon teams keep a steady retainer and spin up project sprints for seasonal peaks and product moments.
What really drives price
Scope & outcomes. Full-funnel programs cost more than single-channel execution. Seniority. Strategy leads add cost but reduce waste and time-to-impact. Sector & compliance. Banking, telecom and hospitality need experienced teams and tighter QA. Location. Beirut trends higher when speed and seniority matter.
How to hire the right Lebanon agency
Lead with outcomes. Shortlist vendors from the Lebanon directory and, if city matters, say it—ask for live experience in Beirut. Issue one RFQ and require the same sections from everyone: scope, team & seniority, timelines, KPIs, reporting, and commercials with media/tooling separated. Three or four comparable proposals make the decision obvious.
