Where a performance creative agency is the better pick
- One partner for strategy and creative. buzz does not buy media or plan campaigns. If you want both from one team, a performance agency is the closer fit.
- Reviews you can check. Admiral Media shows 48 Clutch reviews with a 4.9 average, as listed on their site, Oct 2026. buzz has no Clutch reviews yet; our client reviews are on Upwork.
- A monthly retainer. Admiral Media and EVKII both sell monthly retainers. buzz works per order.
Where buzz is the better pick
- You already run the media. Agencies and in-house buyers who own the strategy need production capacity, not another strategist.
- Lower price per ad. $100 to $125 per ad, against €363 to €500 in Admiral Media packages and $200 to $800 at EVKII, as listed on their sites, Oct 2026.
- Small first order. 4 ads for $500, against a €10,000 entry package at Admiral Media or a $4,000 monthly retainer at EVKII.
- Faster first batch than Admiral Media. Under 4 business days from a complete brief, against first batches within 2 weeks.
- White-label by default. No buzz branding anywhere, exports named for your client's ad account.
How much creative your media spend needs
A common rule of thumb in performance marketing is to spend 10 to 20% of media spend on creative. At $30,000 a month in spend that is $3,000 to $6,000, or 30 to 60 ads at the buzz rate of $100 per ad from 15. Try other volumes in the order calculator.
