Coming from a big agency
Last checked November 8, 2026.
A big agency sells a large bench of people under one contract, usually with an account manager between you and the people building. For some projects, that bench is exactly what you're paying for.
What the bench is for
Many specialists working at the same hour. If you're building a large platform on a fixed launch date, running a brand campaign beside the build, or need support with round-the-clock cover written into the contract, that's what an agency's size is for. Go with them. The same goes if your procurement asks for a large vendor with a long client list: that's a fair requirement, and a big agency meets it.
One brief, followed through both
| Step | With a big agency | With Zaions |
|---|---|---|
| Your first question | goes to an account manager | goes to the people who'll build it |
| The plan | often after a discovery phase | a written plan and price against your brief |
| Progress | status reports and meetings | a link to the working build at every milestone |
| The end | set by the contract | the handover: everything in your name, a standard term |
The last row is the one to read twice. With us, the repository, the design files and the accounts moving into your name isn't something you negotiate; every package has it.
Holding an agency quote already?
Send us the brief you sent them, unchanged. Our estimate names the package that fits, and if a cheaper one covers the job, it says so. Packages lists what each one covers. On the website, the same two routes sit side by side at zaions.com/compare/big-agency (opens in a new tab).
