Does a local agency outperform a cheap remote one?

Yes, when the work depends on standing in the room, with the menu and the listing of that neighbourhood: a cheap remote team that has never been there does not see the dish or Tuesday’s gap. Being nearby does not perform better if they only send a generic calendar and never come in either. Ask when they set foot in the door and which venues in Madrid or the hill towns around it you can go and see. A low price without that visit is not a bargain; it is a different job. The remote option is chosen for the fee and the shoot does not exist. The ad uses photos that could be from any city.
