SendToTeam vs Marketing Agencies

Marketing agencies can be transformative partners for businesses. The best ones bring strategic expertise, creative talent, and execution capability that's hard to build in-house. But the agency model has well-known pain points: high retainer fees (typically $3,000 to $15,000+ per month), long contracts, slow turnaround times, and a frustrating lack of transparency into how your money is being spent. You're often paying for the agency's overhead as much as for the work itself.

SendToTeam offers a radically different model. Instead of retaining an agency and waiting for deliverables, you get AI employees that produce work every day. Outreach campaigns run continuously. Content is created on your schedule. Reports are generated automatically. Support tickets are handled as they arrive. The work flows into your review queue daily, not in a monthly deliverables package that arrives two days before the client call.

Transparency is built into the model. With an agency, you often wonder what's actually being done between deliverables. With SendToTeam, you see every piece of work your AI employees produce because it all passes through your review queue for approval. Nothing goes out without your sign-off. You have complete visibility into the work being done on your behalf — something most agency clients can only dream of.

The cost difference is stark. A mid-tier marketing agency retainer covers a portion of a team's time shared across multiple clients. For that $5,000-$10,000 per month, you might get a few blog posts, some social media management, and periodic campaign adjustments. SendToTeam's AI employees, at a fraction of the cost, can produce more output across more workflows because they're dedicated to your work and operate 24/7.

Agencies still have a place for high-level brand strategy, creative campaigns, and media buying that requires industry relationships and human expertise. But for the execution layer — the daily outreach, content production, reporting, and support that makes up the bulk of most agency deliverables — SendToTeam's AI employees deliver more, faster, and at a dramatically lower cost. Many businesses find the best approach is to use an agency for strategy while letting AI employees handle the execution.
