Amazon Agency: “We budget $2000/month per ppc expert and want them to manage $30-35,000 in retainers”
If you’re an Amazon brand let me show you quickly how much each hour with your agency ads expert might cost you, you’ll be gobsmacked
This example is real, it’s a 17.5X markup.
If you’re being charged say $5000 month by an Amazon agency, here’s how many hours you’re likely getting and the cost per hour.
You pay $5000
They pay $286
You pay $203/h
They pay $12/h
You get 24.5 hours of input per month.

Here’s my suggestion to you in 2026
Hire your own senior Amazon ads manager, for $3-6k (experience and region dependent), and get 172 hours of commitment.
You will save hard cash every month.
You will get an enormous increase in INPUT.
You will get 100% attention, without the distraction of other brands and other target audiences.
