Advertising Agency Directories

[Branden_S]

I have been looking into Advertising Agency directories recently.  I've found a few that are big in the Advertising Agency world, but are quite expensive.... Ad Age, Red Books & Agency Compile.  Each directory costs $1k - $4k / year to be included, so I'm hesitant to fork over several grand.

The 'sales people' at these directories tell me that their directory will promote us to prospective clients, so there is more value than just a link.

I was wondering if anybody has any experience with these directories.  Did you get any leads from these directories?  Are they worth it?  Are there any Advertising Agency Directories you would recommend besides the directories mentioned above?

Thanks in advance

Hi Branden,

I don't know the best way to quantify lead value from those directories as we don't have any links with them. In terms of SEO value though I would recommend comparing them with this directory, bit of a hidden gem in my opinion for the price:

Hope this is of some assistance.
