3Q/DEPT

• Pricing model: Custom-quoted agency engagements, primarily monthly retainer / ongoing managed-services relationships for digital marketing and media management, with some strategic advisory or project-based work. Evidence from Clutch indicates ongoing monthly spend relationships, while directories consistently show a minimum project budget rather than fixed packages.
• Starting price: $50,000+ project minimum
• Typical range: $300,000-$700,000 / month
• Billing: Primarily monthly / ongoing engagement billing for managed services; project-based minimums are also indicated by directories.

3Q/DEPT does not publicly publish self-serve pricing plans or standard packages on its own site; the site pushes buyers to contact sales and describes bundled, customized solutions. The clearest public pricing evidence comes from reputable third-party directories: Clutch reports verified clients spending roughly $300,000-$700,000 monthly, while Clutch, DesignRush, and The Manifest all show a $50,000+ minimum project budget. Those directory figures are estimates/aggregations from platform data and reviews, not a price list published directly by 3Q/DEPT.

Based on the available evidence, a 3Q/DEPT engagement appears to start with an RFP or introductory meeting, then move into channel-specific strategy and campaign setup, followed by hands-on day-to-day management with weekly performance calls and periodic business reviews. Clients describe the team as operating like an extension of the internal marketing function, with fast turnaround on new campaigns, reports, and strategy updates.

1. 1

   Run selection and fit assessment

   The engagement commonly begins through an RFP, consultant-led agency selection, or an inbound meeting after a prospect encounters 3Q/DEPT content. Review evidence shows clients chose 3Q/DEPT for its experience and cultural fit before work started.

2. 2

   Align on goals and business context

   Early work focuses on clarifying the client’s growth objective and the business areas that matter most, such as subscriber acquisition or specific brands to build up. One reviewer noted that as a new client, explaining the key business priorities well was important to getting the work pointed in the right direction.

3. 3

   Build a channel team and roadmap

   3Q/DEPT appears to staff a specialized team by channel and create a customized growth plan rather than a one-size-fits-all program. Third-party and company materials describe an end-to-end model spanning planning, analytics, delivery, and management, and clients say each person on the team owns a specific area.

4. 4

   Launch campaigns and implement tactics

   After planning, the team executes digital advertising and related growth work across channels such as paid search, display, social, SEO, feeds, and creative support, depending on scope. Clients specifically describe 3Q/DEPT setting up new campaigns, producing reports, and delivering new campaign strategies quickly.

5. 5

   Manage and optimize continuously

   Once live, 3Q/DEPT manages the work on an ongoing basis with close monitoring and rapid optimization. Clients report weekly calls with deep dives into the numbers, responsiveness to semi-urgent questions, and frequent adjustments that keep a close pulse on each channel.

6. 6

   Report results and educate stakeholders

   The agency does not just send metrics; it also explains process and performance to the client organization. Review evidence says 3Q/DEPT prepares quarterly business reviews covering prior-period and year-over-year performance and shows how its work connects to business outcomes.

7. 7

   Integrate deeper into client operations

   Over time, the relationship tends to become more embedded, with 3Q/DEPT functioning like an internal team and fitting into the client’s workflows. Reviews also indicate the agency works to align with internal processes and documentation, while maintaining continuity when account team members transition.
