Each breakdown is written at the category level and kept honest: it names where the alternative is genuinely the better choice, not just where we win. The deciding factors are almost always the same three. First, compliance risk: regulated health, telehealth, GLP-1, and supplement brands live or die by ad-platform policy, which is where a health-specialist earns its keep. Second, stage and spend: a dedicated in-house team pays off at large, stable budgets, while an agency de-risks the ramp. Third, scope: if you need brand, PR, and a website rebuild alongside media, a full-service shop consolidates that, whereas if the bottleneck is CAC and rejected ads, that is the specialist lane. See real outcomes by vertical, or start with the services that drive them.
