Full-Funnel Advertising Services for Businesses in Richmond, VA

Here’s a secret most agencies don’t want you to know: the standard media buying commission is 15%. On a $10,000 ad buy, that’s $1,500 going straight into your agency’s pocket. Not your campaign. Not your results. Their bottom line.

At Wabash & Lake, we’ve worked a different way since day one. We don’t mark up media buys. We don’t take vendor kickbacks. And we refund every commission back to you — every time, no exceptions. Our only incentive is making your advertising actually work. Because that’s the only thing we charge for.

We Go Where Your Customers Actually Are

Most agencies default to the channels they know — or the ones that pay them the best referral fees. We start with your customer and build outward from there. Where are they spending their time? What are they searching for? What does your brand need to say before they're ready to buy? Then we put your funnel across every channel that earns its place in your budget:

Traditional Advertising

You Keep Every Dollar We Save You

We built Wabash & Lake specifically to break the agency billing model that was designed to benefit agencies, not clients. Here’s exactly what that means for your budget:

  • Zero Markups: You pay one flat monthly rate for strategy and execution. No surprise invoices, no creative overages, no “platform fees” buried in the fine print.
  • Zero Vendor Kickbacks: We don’t accept referral bonuses, software rebates, or kickbacks of any kind. Every recommendation we make is focused on performance and not our bottom line.
  • 100% Commission Rebates: The industry-standard 15% media buying commission goes back to your balance sheet, not ours. We’ve enforced this policy since 2016.

The math is simple. When agencies profit from your media buys, they’re incentivized to spend more of your budget. We get paid to grow your business. So that’s what we do.
