Ask who owns the account, who reviews consequential changes and who resolves an exception. Team size and a familiar job title cannot answer those questions.
The earlier salary, retainer and clients-per-manager arithmetic did not establish a representative agency dataset. It also treated account count as a uniform workload. A product launch, a mature feed and a tracking incident can demand very different work.
Evaluate the actual operating arrangement: named channel responsibility, production and optimization cadence, escalation, access to decisions and the work you receive. Look for a coherent path from source evidence to creative, campaigns, destinations and reporting.
At Tegra, operators own ongoing delivery as well as reviewing AI-assisted preparation. Clients supply access, assets and business facts; they do not need to assemble a separate creative or copy team to manage the channel. Judge that offer through its scope and inspectable work, rather than an unsupported comparison with what every other agency pays or produces.
