How much does a full-service short-form video and social media agency retainer cost in 2026?
A senior short-form creative pod retainer ranges from $5,500 to $14,000 per month depending on weekly 9:16 cut volume (8 to 24+ cuts/month), creator casting count, and paid Spark Ad whitelisting—saving 65% to 75% compared to hiring a $340,000/year in-house 4-person video team.
