If you only checked a few boxes you'll have noticed that typical agencies only provide one service (e.g. PR, graphic design, etc.). They tend to focus on tasks and not necessarily a business result, such as sales. Marketingsage provides an integrated set of services designed to help clients get business results.
Clients can confidently delegate broad objectives to Marketingsage and we take on the responsibility of achieving those objectives within their budget. And because we are also industry specialists with deep product and market knowledge, we lighten our clients' workload by proactively getting the job done. Typical agencies require a lot of "hand holding" — a hidden, but significant, management cost.
You might also notice that the typical agency has, or had, many clients. If you have a budget, they'll add you to their client list. However, the typical agency turns over clients about every 6 months so their high sales costs are reflected in their fees. Marketingsage only works with a small number of select clients and our relationships usually last many years. Our low overhead costs are reflected in our very reasonable fees.

Some values are...like sugar on the doughnut, legitimate, desirable, but insufficient, apart from the doughnut itself. We need substance as well as frosting. —
