Agency vs. in-house
The real cost of a marketing team
Hiring one marketing director still leaves you paying separate vendors for video, design and ads. Here is how the common options compare for a growing business in 2026.
| Option | What you get | Typical cost | Time to launch | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DelloFlix Total Outsource | Strategy, video, design, social and media buying from one team | Custom monthly scope | 2 to 4 weeks | Small and mid-size brands that need the whole department |
| Full-time marketing director | One strategist; production and media still outsourced | $110K to $180K+ salary, plus benefits | 3 to 6 months to recruit and ramp | Companies building a large internal team |
| In-house team (3 to 4 people) | Manager, designer, videographer and social specialist | $300K to $450K+ per year, plus gear and software | 6+ months | Enterprises with constant, high-volume output |
| Traditional ad agency | Campaign creative; often split across separate vendors | $8K to $25K+ per month retainer | 60 to 90 days | Large media buys with long planning cycles |

Pricing questions
How much does video production cost in Maryland and Washington, DC?
Most commercial and brand videos in the DMV range from about $2,500 to $25,000 or more. The biggest cost drivers are the number of shoot days, crew size, locations, talent and how much editing, motion graphics or animation the final piece needs. DelloFlix quotes every project up front after a free consultation.
Is it cheaper to outsource marketing than to hire in-house?
For most small and mid-size businesses, yes. A single full-time marketing director typically costs $110,000 to $180,000 or more per year before benefits, and still needs outside help for video, design and media buying. A Total Outsource engagement gives you a full team of specialists for a predictable monthly investment.
Do you require long-term contracts?
No. Projects are quoted as a fixed scope, and monthly retainers run month to month after the initial onboarding period, so you can scale up or down as your needs change.
What is included in a free consultation?
We review your goals, current marketing and timeline, recommend the right engagement model and give you a clear quote. There is no cost and no obligation.
Can I combine services into one package?
Yes. Most clients bundle services, for example a brand video plus a month of paid social to promote it. Bundling under one team usually costs less than hiring separate vendors and keeps the message consistent.
