Senior Paid Media Management for Marketing Agencies
Done-for-you senior paid media management built for marketing agencies — white-label execution that integrates with agency workflows.
Marketing Agencies businesses face unique paid media challenges that generalist providers miss. EverestX places vetted senior paid media management specialists who have shipped on marketing agencies accounts before — not generalists learning your industry on your budget.
Why Marketing Agencies Senior Paid Media Management Is Different
Marketing Agencies businesses — performance marketing agencies, SEO agencies, creative shops — operate under marketing constraints that don't apply to other industries. NDA + IP protection for client-facing work is non-negotiable, and the cost of getting it wrong compounds quickly. Generic paid media expertise doesn't translate; marketing agencies demands specialists who have already shipped in this vertical and know the landmines.
Through EverestX, senior paid media management for marketing agencies runs $1,700–$2,100/mo full-time or $1,200–$1,400/mo part-time — typically 30–60% below US agency rates for the same scope. The talent is matched specifically to marketing agencies experience, with backstop support from a Talent Success Manager who handles fit, escalation, and replacement at no cost if the engagement isn't working.
Marketing budgets in marketing agencies typically run $3,000–$15,000/mo per outsourced seat; multi-seat agency engagements scale linearly. The paid media layer is one of the highest-leverage allocations within that budget when run by a vetted specialist; one of the most expensive mistakes when run by a generalist agency or a junior in-house hire. We don't accept engagements where the fit isn't right — better to refer you elsewhere than ship a service we can't execute well.
