Marketing agency in Bangladesh: what ৳25,000 to ৳1,00,000 a month should actually buy you

Ask five marketing agencies in Dhaka for a monthly price and you'll get five numbers between ৳10,000 and ৳2,00,000. The packages all list "posts, ads, reporting". So what's the difference?

I've run marketing from both sides. As marketing team lead at Biddabari I managed campaigns across three sister companies, and I've seen what happens to a lead after the ad does its job. Usually, nothing good. This is a price-by-price guide to what you should expect, written so you can hold any agency (including mine) to it.

First, separate the two costs

Agency fee is what you pay for strategy, design, copy, ad management and reporting.

Ad spend is what Meta, Google or TikTok charges you. It should be paid from your own ad account, with your card. If an agency runs ads from their account, you don't own the data, the pixel history or the audiences. When you leave, you start from zero.

Every price below is the agency fee only.

৳25,000 – ৳40,000 a month: the starter level

This is right for a single-brand business that wants a consistent page and steady ads.

What you should get:

• 12–16 designed posts a month, with captions in Bangla and English
• 4–8 short videos or reels (often template-based at this level)
• Meta Ads managed on one or two campaigns, with weekly checks
• A monthly report showing spend, cost per message or lead, and what changed

What's usually missing: original video shoots, landing pages and any follow-up system. If messages pile up in your inbox, the ads are paying for conversations nobody answers.

৳50,000 – ৳80,000 a month: the growth level

Here you should start seeing a plan behind the posts.

• A content calendar built around your sales calendar (Eid, Puja, Boishakh, 11.11, admission season)
• 20+ posts and 8–12 reels, some shot for you
• Meta plus Google Ads, with separate campaigns for new customers and retargeting
• Basic SEO: Google Business Profile, page titles, a few blog posts a month
• A tracking setup that tells you which ad produced which sale or lead
• Fortnightly calls with someone who can change the plan

Ask how they measure "lead quality". If the answer is "number of messages", push for more. A thousand "price?" messages from the wrong district are worth less than fifty from your area.

৳1,00,000+ a month: the full-funnel level

At this level the agency should own the whole path from first ad to repeat purchase.

• A dedicated strategist plus designer, editor and ads specialist
• Creative testing every week (new hooks, offers and formats)
• Landing pages and conversion tracking on your site
• SEO as a real channel, with monthly content targeting buying keywords
• Email or WhatsApp campaigns to past customers
• Automated follow-up on every lead, so nothing waits for a human to notice it

That last point is where most agencies stop and where most of the money is lost.

The gap nobody fills: follow-up

Here's a pattern I saw again and again. The ads team hits its target, say 400 leads in a month. The sales team calls the first 150. The rest go cold in a spreadsheet. Next month the agency asks for a bigger budget.

At Biddabari we fixed this by wiring every channel into one system. Ad leads, website leads and email sign-ups flow into automation, get a reply in seconds from an AI agent, and get routed to a person with a follow-up deadline. Marketing and follow-up became one machine. See how it was built.

You don't need a ৳1 lakh package to get this. You need an agency that counts "every lead got an answer" as part of its own job.

Red flags when hiring a marketing agency in Bangladesh

• They want to run ads from their own account. Say no.
• The report shows reach and likes, but not cost per lead or sales. Likes don't pay salaries.
• No one asks about your margins. An agency that doesn't know your profit per order can't tell you what a lead is worth.
• Fixed "1,000 followers a month" promises. Followers can be bought. Buyers can't.
• Long contracts with no exit. Three months is fair for ads to settle. Twelve months locked in is not.

A simple way to decide

Write down three numbers before you call anyone: how many leads you get now, what share of them buy, and what one customer is worth to you. Then ask each agency what they'd change and how those three numbers will move.

The agency worth hiring will talk about those numbers. The others will talk about posts.

Our marketing packages start at ৳25,000 a month, and automated lead follow-up can be added to any of them. If you'd like a plan for your business first, book a free call.
