About

About Advertising.bd

Advertising.bd is an independent, non-commercial knowledge hub about advertising in Bangladesh. It exists to answer one honest question well: what does it actually cost, and how does it actually work — in Taka, for the local market.

We are not an advertising agency

We sell no media, run no campaigns and take no commissions from vendors. That independence is the whole point: it means our cost data and comparisons have nothing to sell you.

What we cover

The site is organised into five hubs so you can find any answer fast:

  • Costs & Rates — real Taka pricing for every channel, with VAT and hidden fees.
  • Channels — how each advertising medium works and who it reaches.
  • How-To Guides — step-by-step campaign planning and buying.
  • Free Tools — BDT budget and ROAS calculators.
  • Glossary — plain-English definitions of advertising terms.

How we source and check information

Every rate page is built from public rate cards, official platform documentation and recognised industry sources, then dated so you know how current it is. Because advertising prices in Bangladesh change frequently, we treat all figures as indicative ranges and encourage you to confirm final pricing with the vendor. Our full standards are in the editorial policy.
