“How much should a marketing agency cost?”

That sounds like a simple question, but it really isn’t.

One agency might charge $1,500/month to schedule some posts.

Another might charge $5,000+ and handle strategy, video, ads, landing pages, tracking, lead quality, and optimization.

Those aren’t really comparable services.

I put together a breakdown of what businesses should actually look at before deciding whether a marketing agency is “too expensive.”

The monthly fee matters, but what you’re actually getting for that fee matters a lot more.

Marketing agency pricing can be confusing. Learn what established local businesses are actually paying for, how agency fees differ from ad spend, and how to judge whether the investment makes sense.

Ever wonder what happens on a day where we don’t have a client shoot? Pop punk covers of trending music. You’re welcome.

Having 250,000+ followers is great, but empty seats don't pay the bills. 🚁

We’re behind the scenes with Heather at Independent Helicopters here in New Windsor. Helicopters (and Heather) are awesome to watch, but turning those viral views into actual, paid tour bookings is where most local businesses get completely stuck.

We don't just shoot nice videos for the internet. We make sure there's a clear, fast way for local people to book a spot.

Everyone needs a Franco on their team.

Yesterday we got back from a shoot and found an ice cream truck parked in our office lot.

We’ve never seen one here before.

Most people would’ve ignored it.

Franco monitored the situation, tracked down the driver, started a conversation in Spanish, and somehow secured a free ice cream cone.

A successful afternoon all around. 🍦😂

Talk about local impact! Last week we had the privilege of filming Foamy from Foam & Wash making a massive $40,000 deposit for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital right here in the Hudson Valley. 💙

This is what real business growth is all about. Building a strong local brand so you can give back to the community that supports you.

If your local business is putting out videos, getting social media views, but seeing absolutely zero incoming phone calls or lead forms—you don't have a content problem.

You have a next-step problem.

The biggest mistake we see Hudson Valley business owners make is working hard to capture attention online, only to lazily route all those link clicks straight to their website homepage.

A standard homepage naturally gives people way too many options. They look around, get confused, get distracted, and click away. Your hard-earned traffic disappears.

If you want views to turn into actual customers, your website next-step needs a strict structure: One page, one clear action, one specific problem, one ideal person.

We just published a practical guide that breaks down this exact conversion infrastructure. It shows you how to stop leaking leads and highlights how we deployed these exact landing page frameworks right here in the valley for local staples like personal injury attorney John DeGasperis and the Foam & Wash team.

Stop making digital noise and build an actual lead-generation engine.
