FAQs

We have operated as a full-service agency in Cleveland since 1996, with long-standing vendor relationships across Northeast Ohio and nationwide. We have kept pace with digital, programmatic, streaming, data-driven targeting, and AI. And our senior team is hands-on from day one and answers the phone.

Large national firms often assign junior staff and rotate teams. With AMDG you get a stable senior team you can reach by phone, email, online, or in person, plus 30 years of local media relationships. You get local accountability with full-stack capabilities and the buying power to compete with bigger agencies.

Keeping up has never been the goal. Staying ahead has. Since 1996 we have moved clients from broadcast-only plans into digital, programmatic, streaming, and social as audiences fragmented, and today that includes AI-driven targeting and content. We treat each shift as an opportunity, share what we learn across the team, and put it to work for clients.

Retail, automotive dealerships, quick-service restaurants, healthcare, professional services, financial services, hospitality, real estate, and public sector clients such as counties, among others. Working across categories gives every client pattern recognition from outside their own industry.

Digital display, paid search, programmatic, streaming and OTT, broadcast TV, cable, radio, out-of-home, and print. Decades of vendor history help us identify which channels perform best for a given budget, industry, and audience, and give us leverage when negotiating.

Media buying runs on relationships. Our 30 years with stations, networks, and digital platforms translate into better rates, preferred inventory, and bonus placements for clients. Newer agencies start every negotiation from scratch.

Your audience and market goals, the recommended channel mix, budget allocation, flight dates, and the KPIs we will measure against. Once you approve it, we negotiate and place the buys, then report on performance and shift budget toward what works.

It depends on the station, time of day, season, and how long your campaign runs, so there is no single price. What matters is reaching the right audience efficiently. We start with your goals and budget, show you what that budget can realistically buy across broadcast, streaming, and digital, and use our local relationships to stretch it further.

CTV (connected TV) and OTT (over-the-top) advertising places your commercials on streaming services watched on smart TVs and other devices. It pairs the impact of TV with digital targeting by location, audience, and interest, so it fits businesses that want TV reach focused on their market. We plan it alongside broadcast so the two work together.

Yes. Our roots in Northeast Ohio give clients access to Cleveland's sports culture, where local fans are already paying attention. We build sports marketing into broader media plans so it supports the rest of your campaign, not just a one-off placement.

You should have direct access to your data and a team that answers when you call. Every AMDG client gets real-time reporting dashboards, regular check-ins, and proactive recommendations, with campaigns adjusted continuously. If your current agency only sends a monthly summary, it may be time to ask harder questions.

Every digital campaign comes with a real-time dashboard you can check anytime, plus weekly and monthly check-ins. We optimize continuously and explain every change: what we adjusted, why, and where your budget is going.

At AMDG, that means media buying across TV, radio, digital, streaming, and out-of-home, plus brand strategy and website development. One team connects every channel, so there are no gaps between vendors and no loss of strategy along the way.

Yes, and it usually works better that way. When the same team plans your media and builds your site, every ad lands on a page designed to convert, and reporting connects the two so you can see what drives leads.

Yes. Clients have described us as an extension of their own internal team. We work alongside in-house staff and existing partners, filling gaps and connecting the pieces rather than replacing what already works.

Often, yes. We enhance existing sites for speed, usability, and conversions, from sites built decades ago to modern web apps. If a full rebuild makes more sense, we will explain why before you commit.
