Pricing

  • Pricing model: Hybrid monthly retainer tied to ad spend, with custom quotes. G2 states ADM uses a standard agency model charging the greater of 12% of ad spend or a $5,000 monthly minimum; the company’s own site indicates engagements are scoped around ongoing monthly marketing budgets rather than fixed public packages.
  • Starting price: $5,000 / month
  • Typical range: $5,000+ / month
  • Billing: Monthly retainer; G2 says fees start at the greater of 12% of ad spend or a $5,000 monthly minimum. ADM’s contact form also asks prospects to choose a monthly marketing budget band ($0–$15K, $15K–$50K, $50K–$100K, $100K–$250K, $250K–$1M, $1M+), which supports an ongoing monthly/ad-spend-based billing model.

What's included

  • Full-service management of Google Ads (search, shopping, display, UAC, YouTube)
  • Social media advertising management (Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, X/Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat)
  • Social media ad strategy
  • Google Analytics services
  • Media planning and buying
  • Digital strategy

I found one concrete recurring price from G2: ADM pricing starts at $5,000 per month, and G2 further specifies a fee structure of the greater of 12% of ad spend or a $5,000 minimum. That appears to be the clearest published pricing figure tied directly to this agency, but it is hosted by G2, not explicitly shown on ADM’s own website. Directory data also suggests custom mid-market engagements: The Manifest lists ADM at $5,000+, DesignRush shows a minimal budget of $10,000–$25,000, GoodFirms lists $25–$49/hr, and Clutch says verified client investments ranged from $10,000 to $90,000 with a most common project size of $50,000–$199,999; these directory figures are estimates/profile metadata, not necessarily official ADM-published rate cards.

Process

How Accelerated Digital Media actually works, reconstructed from customer reviews and third-party write-ups.

An engagement with Accelerated Digital Media typically starts by aligning on business goals and success metrics, then validating tracking and building or restructuring paid media campaigns. From there, ADM runs hands-on execution with frequent communication, collaborative approvals, and recurring reporting that explains performance, learnings, and next tests.

  1. 1

    Define goals and success criteria

    Clients are expected to communicate program targets clearly at the outset, and reviews describe ADM aligning campaign objectives to business goals such as efficient scale, CAC targets, or event and market budgets. Their Clutch profile also says they design media campaigns around business goals and measure success through growth KPIs rather than vanity metrics.

  2. 2

    Audit tracking, KPIs, and account setup

    Before scaling, ADM validates conversion tracking, defines the KPI set, and sets up measurement visibility through GA4/GTM alignment, platform reporting, and pacing/performance dashboards. Reviews and profile content also indicate they handle analytics cleanup, account restructures, and broader problem-solving around attribution or platform setup.

  3. 3

    Research audiences, competitors, and channel plan

    ADM then develops strategy across channels such as Google Search, paid social, YouTube, display, or Amazon based on the client need. Evidence from reviews and ADM’s own methodology content shows this includes audience definition and cohort segmentation, competitive research, brainstorming with clients about competitor activity, and deciding what to test.

  4. 4

    Build campaigns and submit work for approval

    Once strategy is set, the team builds new ads, identifies new audiences, and launches or manages campaigns across the agreed platforms. At least one Clutch reviewer explicitly said new ads and audience work were submitted for approval, and described the relationship as collaborative while edits to voice/copy were worked through together.

  5. 5

    Run campaigns with high-touch communication

    ADM executes day-to-day paid media management while acting like an extension of the client team. Reviewers repeatedly describe fast response times, direct points of contact, virtual meetings plus email/messaging, and regular strategy sessions or weekly catch-ups that keep initiatives aligned.

  6. 6

    Report performance and explain insights

    Delivery is not just campaign management; clients describe weekly calls, monthly status updates, thorough meeting follow-ups, and in-depth reporting that translates results into clear analysis. ADM’s profile says ongoing reporting covers what changed, what was learned, and what they are testing next so optimization stays traceable.

  7. 7

    Optimize, test, and scale collaboratively

    After launch, ADM continually refines budgets, audiences, messaging, and platform mix based on performance and learnings. Reviews mention testing brand messaging, fixing flawed prior testing, monitoring CPAs and budget pacing, and using recommendations and QBR-style strategic planning to support ongoing scaling.
