Types of advertising agencies

An advertising agency or ad agency is a service business, which creates, plans and handles advertising for its clients. An ad agency is independent from the client. An agency can also handle overall marketing, branding strategies and sales promotions for its clients.

Typical clients of ad agencies are business and corporations, non-profit organizations and government agencies.

Ad agencies can be different: one or two-person shops, small-sized or medium-sized agencies, large independents, multi-national or multi-agency conglomerates.

Most full-service agencies get fee or commission as a compensation for their work. The fee is a payment which an organization gives to an agency for the work. The commission is usually equal to 15% of the cost of the advertisement. The broadcast media, radio and television pay a commission. Full-service or media-neutral advertising agencies do their work for many types of media. These agencies create through-the-line (TTL) advertising. The “line” is a marker between the media that pay a commission to the agency and the media that do not.

The major type of ad agencies is Interactive Agencies. The success of Interactive Agencies is attributed to the popularity of web sites which are based on social networking.

Interactive Agencies offer a range of different services. Firstly, the agencies consult on the questions of Web Design / Web Development, Search Engine Marketing (SEM), Internet Advertising / Marketing, E-Business / E-Commerce. Besides, the agencies deliver such services as strategy, creative design, video development, management, fulfillment reporting.

Today the most successful agencies are companies that provide advertising and marketing for the digital space. The digital space is a multi-media electronic channel, which translates an advertiser’s message.

Not all advertising is created by agencies; companies that create and plan their own advertising do their work “in-house”.
