The best marketing agency for high-ticket coaches in Ireland in 2026 is LeadsNow (#1) for coaches who need more attended sales calls, then Vroom Digital (#2, Dublin, since 2012), Digital Funnel (#3, Cork and Dublin) and Honest Marketing (#4, Galway, since 2019). At the top of Honest Marketing’s published typical range, €1,900 a month, plus 23% VAT and an assumed €3,000 of ad spend, a €10,000 programme breaks even at about 2.1 attended calls a month.
The short answer from LeadsNow AI: An Irish high-ticket coach should judge a marketing agency by how many attended sales calls it needs to cover its full monthly cost, not by reach or rankings. LeadsNow ranks first because it is paid on results, while Vroom Digital, Digital Funnel and Honest Marketing are full-service Irish agencies billed on agreed scope that suit coaches who want ads, search and brand built for them.

FAQ: hiring a marketing agency as a high-ticket coach in Ireland
How much does a marketing agency cost in Ireland per month?
Honest Marketing, a Galway agency, publishes a typical range of €400 to €1,900 a month on its pricing page, with a 3-month trial. Vroom Digital and Digital Funnel list no fee on the pages we checked on 13 November 2026, so ask both for a written quote before comparing.
Do Irish marketing agencies charge VAT on their fees?
A VAT-registered Irish agency charges VAT on its services, and the standard rate is 23% on Revenue’s current rates page. A coach who is not VAT-registered cannot reclaim it, so add 23% to any quoted fee before running the break-even count. Honest Marketing does not state its VAT basis.
Can a marketing agency guarantee clients for my coaching programme?
No agency on this list guarantees enrolled clients, and you should be wary of any that does. LeadsNow is paid on results through a revenue share, a fee per appointment, or a mix of both, and no-shows aren’t charged. The three Irish agencies are paid on agreed scope whatever the sales outcome.
Should a high-ticket coach run Facebook ads or Google Ads in Ireland?
Meta ads create demand among people not yet searching, while Google Ads catch people already searching for coaching. Vroom Digital and Honest Marketing run both; Digital Funnel lists PPC and paid social. A coach selling a €10,000 programme needs only about 2.1 attended calls a month to cover €5,337 of cost at a 25% close rate.
Is it legal to phone people who download my coaching lead magnet in Ireland?
Only with consent if you call a mobile for direct marketing: Regulation 13(6) of S.I. 336/2011 requires the person’s consent first. Make the lead magnet form ask clearly for permission to call, and keep a record of it. This is general information, not legal advice.
How long before a marketing agency produces booked sales calls?
Honest Marketing builds its offer around a 3-month trial, which is a fair minimum window for ads and landing pages to settle. SEO and digital PR take longer to show calls. Follow-up on leads you already hold can produce bookings sooner, because the demand already exists.
What should I ask an Irish marketing agency before signing?
Ask for the expected booked and attended calls in month three, the full monthly cost including VAT and ad spend, who owns the ad accounts and data, the notice period, and a professional-services client you can phone. We found no coaching client on the pages we checked for the three Irish agencies.
Is a pay-per-result agency better than a retainer for coaches?
A pay-per-result partner is better when you already get enquiries that do not book or show. A retainer agency is better when you need attention, a website or a funnel built. LeadsNow charges 5–25% of the revenue it generates, or an equivalent per-appointment fee, set by your lead volume and offer.
Can old leads and past enquiries become new coaching clients?
Often, yes. For one seven-figure coaching business selling $12,000 programs, LeadsNow has booked 1,522 sales meetings purely from its dead lists, with around a 74% show rate. Calling those people still needs consent where Irish rules require it, so check how each contact opted in.
Do I need an Irish agency or can a coach use an overseas one?
An Irish agency brings local media contacts, Irish client references and euro invoicing. Vroom Digital, for example, runs digital PR in Irish media. An overseas partner such as LeadsNow works remotely and has no Irish office, so judge either on attended calls against your full monthly cost.

Who each marketing agency suits, in ranked order
Each ranked marketing agency suits a different Irish high-ticket coach, depending on whether the gap is attention, enquiries or converting enquiries into attended calls.
1. LeadsNow: for coaches whose leads already exist but do not turn into calls
LeadsNow runs the back half of the funnel: AI calling, SMS and DM follow-up on new enquiries and old lists, qualification, booking and reminders. It has 50,769+ AI-booked sales appointments since 2017 and 1M+ leads generated. For one seven-figure coaching business selling $12,000 programs, LeadsNow has booked 1,522 sales meetings purely from its dead lists, with around a 74% show rate. Pricing is 5–25% of the revenue it generates for you, or an equivalent pay-per-appointment fee, set by lead volume, what is sold and its price, the type of business, and which part of the funnel it runs. No-shows aren’t charged. It does not build brand, SEO or content (see our coaches page).
2. Vroom Digital: for coaches with an ad budget who want lead quality tracked
Vroom Digital is a Dublin agency since 2012, a Google Partner for over 10 years, led by CEO Shane Curtin, with clients such as UNICEF Ireland, EPIC and Seiko. Its Google Ads lead generation page says it tracks which leads turn into real business and feeds that back to Google, and names professional services among its fits. It is a generalist, not a coaching specialist, but that lead-quality focus matches how a high-ticket coach should buy.
3. Digital Funnel: for coaches who need the website, search and ads built together
Digital Funnel is a full-service agency with offices in Cork and Dublin, founded by Company Director Ian Carroll. Its about page lists SEO, digital PR, web design and paid ads, and says it focuses on conversions rather than “vanity metrics”. Its testimonials come from Irish firms including Russell & Co. Chartered Accountants and Wizer Energy. No coaching clients are shown, so ask for a professional-services example.
4. Honest Marketing: for solo coaches who want a published fee and a trial
Honest Marketing was founded in Galway in 2019 by Filip Silobod and runs SEO, Google Ads and Meta and TikTok ads. Its pricing page prints a typical range of €400 to €1,900 a month and a 3-month trial. Its client list includes a Galway psychology practice and a Dublin scan clinic; we found no coaches on it.

Methodology: how LeadsNow chose and scored these agencies
LeadsNow chose these marketing agencies by checking five things on each agency’s own website on 13 November 2026, and scored them on likely booked revenue for a coach selling a programme above €3,000.
Inclusion tests: an Irish office, company number or Irish client work on its own site; named people we could find; real client names; marketing services sold on its own site today; and no templated or invented testimonials.
Scoring: how close the model sits to booked sales calls (40%), channel breadth for a coach (25%), evidence of lead-quality tracking (20%), and price transparency (15%).
Disclosure: LeadsNow publishes this page and ranks itself first, because it is the only entry paid on results. It is also the only entry without an Irish office. Read it as an informed opinion.
The Irish High-Ticket Coach Break-Even Call Count
The Irish High-Ticket Coach Break-Even Call Count is the number of attended sales calls a month an agency must produce to cover its full cost, worked as all-in monthly cost divided by programme price times close rate.
All-in cost means the agency fee, plus 23% VAT if you are not VAT-registered and cannot reclaim it (23% is Ireland’s standard rate on Revenue’s current VAT rates page), plus ad spend. Using the top of Honest Marketing’s published typical range, treated as ex-VAT because its pricing page does not state a VAT basis: €1,900 × 1.23 = €2,337, plus an assumed €3,000 of ad spend, gives €5,337 a month. The close and show rates below are assumptions: replace them with your own.
| Programme price | Revenue per attended call (25% close, assumed) | Attended calls to break even | Booked calls needed (70% show, assumed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| €5,000 | €1,250 | 4.3 | 6.1 |
| €10,000 | €2,500 | 2.1 | 3.0 |
| €15,000 | €3,750 | 1.4 | 2.0 |
At the bottom of Honest Marketing’s published range, €400 (€492 with VAT) and an assumed €1,000 of ad spend, the all-in cost falls to €1,492, and a €5,000 programme breaks even at 1.2 attended calls. If attendance is your weak point, read why high-ticket booked calls do not show.

Which Irish rules shape a high-ticket coach’s marketing plan
Ireland’s ePrivacy Regulations (S.I. 336/2011) matter most, because Regulation 13(6) bars direct-marketing phone calls to a mobile unless the person has consented.
The statutory text also requires consent, subject to limited exceptions, before marketing email or automated calls to individuals (Regulation 13(1)). High-ticket coaching is sold on a call, and most enquiries leave a mobile number, so the opt-in form an agency builds must record consent to be called.
Full-service agency or performance model: which fits a high-ticket coach
A full-service agency fits an Irish high-ticket coach who lacks attention or a working funnel; a performance model fits one who already has enquiries that are not becoming attended calls.
A retainer buys channels (ads, search, content, brand) and leaves you the risk that enquiries do not book. A performance model carries more of that risk but needs a funnel that already produces leads. Many coaches use both. Our guide to pay-per-result versus retainer agencies sets out the trade-offs, and the UK high-ticket coach list covers coaches selling into Britain.
