§ 04 · Method
How we ranked these agencies
We start from every advertising agency in Cape Town with a public Google Business Profile and a website, then keep the 348 with at least 3 reviews.
Each rating is pulled toward the average for all agencies in our data until it has enough reviews to stand on its own. That stops a perfect score from a handful of reviews outranking a slightly lower score from hundreds. Ties go to the agency with more reviews.
No agency can pay for a position. Read the full methodology.
§ 05 · Budget
What an advertising agency costs
An advertising or creative agency develops brand platforms and campaigns across digital, print, radio, TV and outdoor, and often buys the media as well.
Creative agencies bill per project, on a retainer, or on a time-and-materials basis. Production and media buying are usually charged separately from the creative fee.
Ask how ownership of the creative work and usage rights are handled, especially for talent, photography and music.
§ 06 · Before you sign
Questions to ask an advertising agency
- 01Who owns the creative and the usage rights once the campaign ends?
- 02Do you buy media in-house, and how is that commission disclosed?
- 03How will we measure whether the campaign worked?
- 04Who will actually work on my account day to day, and how senior are they?
- 05Can you show results for a business like mine, with the numbers behind them?
- 06What does the monthly report contain, and which metric do you treat as success?
- 07What is included in the fee, and what is billed separately?
- 08What is the minimum contract term, and what is the notice period?
- 09If we part ways, what do I keep: accounts, data, creative and logins?
§ 07 · FAQ
Advertising agencies in Cape Town: common questions
Which is the best advertising agency in Cape Town?
Woww ranks first among advertising agencies in Cape Town, with a 5.0-star Google rating from 105 reviews. We rank agencies by a review-weighted rating, so a high rating needs a meaningful number of reviews behind it to come out on top.
Which advertising agency in Cape Town has the most Google reviews?
Web Partner has the most Google reviews of the advertising agencies we ranked in Cape Town: 514 reviews, with an average of 4.8 stars.
How many advertising agencies are there in Cape Town?
We found 348 advertising agencies in Cape Town with a Google Business Profile and a website. 348 of them have at least 3 Google reviews, which is the minimum to be ranked.
How much does an advertising agency in Cape Town cost?
Creative agencies bill per project, on a retainer, or on a time-and-materials basis. Production and media buying are usually charged separately from the creative fee. Ask how ownership of the creative work and usage rights are handled, especially for talent, photography and music.
How do I choose an advertising agency in Cape Town?
Shortlist three agencies from this ranking, check that their reviews mention the work you need, and ask each the same questions about who does the work, what the fee includes and what you keep if you leave. Compare written proposals on the same scope before you sign.
How is this ranking calculated?
Each agency's Google rating is weighted by its number of reviews using a Bayesian average, so a 5.0 from three reviews does not beat a 4.8 from a hundred. Agencies need at least 3 reviews to be ranked. Nobody can pay for a position.
