In this article, we’re going to talk about another sub-set of franchise marketing agencies that full under the umbrella of “Franchise Media Buying Agencies”.  A few of these have been mentioned in other articles, but for the most part this will be a totally different set of agencies within the franchising space.  Our main focus here at Lead PPC is franchise leads and franchise lead generation.

The term “Franchise Media Buying Agency” can mean a few different things, namely:

  • Franchise PR Agency
  • Franchise Digital Media Buying Agency

Since we have already covered the Top 15 Local Franchise Marketing Agencies in a separate article, I’m going to focus this list primarily on franchise PR agencies mixed with a little bit of the digital side of things.  So, here’s the list along with a breakdown of each franchise media buying agency:

  • #1 – Lead PPC – I’m going to put ourselves here at Lead PPC at the top of the list here, at least when it comes to the digital pay per click side of things.  Whether you’re looking for franchise development lead generation or local franchise advertising, this is all we do here at Lead PPC, and we’ve been doing it since 2010.
  • #2 – Fish – I would say that Fish has the best reputation when it comes to franchise PR services.  Public Relations is their core service offering, and they are one of the largest franchise PR agencies out there.  Fish works with massive brands with massive budgets, so if you’re a large brand or growing quickly, this is definitely one to take a look at. 
  • #3 – 919 Marketing – 919 Marketing is a healthy blend of what we do here at Lead PPC on the digital PPC side of things along with what Fish does with PR.  If you’re looking for a single franchise media buying agency to work with that can accomplish every type of need you may have marketing wise, check out these guys.
  • #4 – Location 3 – Location 3 manages a combined $60M in media buying, works with 55 brands, and handles 50,000+ locations via their software toolchest.  While the number of brands that they work with isn’t particularly high, the number of location is.  If you have a lot of locations that need local advertising, I would look at us here at Lead PPC or Location 3.
  • #5 – Scorpion – Scorpion shows up in virtually every list that we have created in regard to franchise agencies.  We’ve had a great relationship with these guys over the years, and after they purchased Wheat Creative, they have really shown a great understanding of the franchising space at large.
  • #6 – Konnect – Konnect is going to be similar to what you might find at 919 Marketing.  They handle all things marketing related and have a smooth looking website.
  • #7 – All Points Public Relations – Much like the name suggests, All Points PR seeks to help you gain exposure to various print publications and parlay that into an entire funnel that goes from press to social to lead conversion.
  • #8 – Sharpnet Solutions – These guys show up on a few different lists when it comes to franchise media buying, although I do not know them personally.  They are strong on web design other forms of online media.
  • #9 – AMP Agency – Amp focuses on franchises and other types of retail chains.  They help with expanding national reach while minding the brick-and-mortar.
  • #10 – Crush Agency – Crush specializes in marketing for franchise brands with the goal of ensuring consistent design and brand messaging across the board. They have developed localized turnkey programs for the franchisee as well as a corporate marketing strategy for the franchisor.
  • #11 – Sparktank – Sparktank has been around for 20 years and sounds a lot like “Sharktank”.  Their primary focus is on franchise development media buying.
  • #12 – Anderson Group – Their website could use a little bit of work as it is a bit over simplified, but this agency specializes in franchise PR media buying.
