Advertising agencies differ greatly and as such advertising costs do vary.
This makes sense when you consider how agencies charge for their service.
Some agencies work on a retainer where you pay them monthly or annually and others work on a project-to-project basis.
Sounds simple but agencies incur a lot of cost based on what’s needed (designing the ad, buying ad space, PR etc.).
This also differs for the platform you’re seeking advertising on such as TV, radio, online, magazines etc.
It is also important to remember that some agencies have an hourly rate for creative work but commission on advertising space that they buy.
Be sure to ask if the discounts on media-buying will be passed onto you.
TV advertising is expensive, but can be very targeted and very effective. Consider Peleton, the home workout business. Prior to lockdown, they were nothing, thanks to TV advertising, they are an industry leader.
