Quick answer

To start a Telegram ads agency you need three things: inventory (relationships with channel owners, bot developers and Mini App publishers), advertisers (iGaming, crypto, apps and e-commerce brands that already buy Telegram traffic), and a reliable way to deliver and measure campaigns. Most new agencies fail on delivery, not sales — so partner with an established Telegram ad network such as Adsun for fill, tracking and payments while you build your own direct relationships.

Key takeaways

A TG ads agency sells three things: inventory access, campaign management and reporting.
Gambling, betting, crypto and Mini App publishers are the most active Telegram ad buyers.
Use Adsun as your delivery backbone while you build direct channel relationships.
Sell on cost per result, not on subscriber counts — that is how agencies keep clients.

What a Telegram ads agency actually sells

Clients do not pay for 'Telegram ads' — they pay for outcomes: app installs, registrations, depositors, channel growth. Your agency packages inventory access, creative, targeting and reporting into that outcome. The clearer your measurement, the easier the sale.

Build your inventory base

Channel owners in your chosen niches — betting tips, crypto, gaming, apps.
Bot developers with active daily users who can show sponsored messages.
Mini App publishers with rewarded, interstitial and task ad placements.
A network partnership — Adsun fills placements you do not own yet, so you never say no to a client.

Find your first advertisers

The most active Telegram ad buyers are licensed gambling and betting brands, crypto exchanges and wallets, Mini App and game developers, and other channel owners buying growth. Start in one vertical you understand, run two or three small campaigns, and turn the reports into case studies.

Price your agency services

Management fee on top of media — simplest to start; be transparent about the split.
Fixed campaign packages — e.g. a launch package with a set number of placements and a report.
Performance pricing — per registration or depositor, only once you can predict delivery.
Hybrid — a small retainer plus a performance bonus keeps both sides motivated.

Deliver and measure with Adsun

Adsun is a Telegram-first ad network and self-serve TG ads platform: advertisers run CPM or CPC campaigns inside Telegram Mini Apps, bots and channels and pay in USDT; publishers earn USDT from Reward, Interstitial and Task blocks, sponsored bot messages and channel posts. Licensed gambling, betting and crypto advertisers are accepted after review, with geo targeting in 213 countries, transparent reports and human support on Telegram.

Running client campaigns through Adsun gives you placement-level reporting, USDT settlement and reviewed gambling-friendly inventory — the infrastructure an agency needs from day one, without building it yourself.

Metric definitions and formulas

CPC: Cost per click: average price an advertiser pays for one click.CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks
CTR: Click-through rate: the share of impressions that produced a click.CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100%
eCPM: Effective CPM: what a publisher earns per 1,000 impressions, whatever the pricing model.eCPM = (Publisher earnings ÷ Impressions) × 1,000
Fill rate: The share of ad requests that returned an ad.Fill rate = (Filled ad requests ÷ Total ad requests) × 100%

Worked example

Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data

An advertiser spends $200 on an Adsun CPC campaign at $0.04 per click = 5,000 clicks; 35% reach the landing page or Mini App = 1,750 visitors; 4% register = 70 sign-ups, cost per sign-up ≈ $2.86. A publisher with 10,000 daily Mini App users showing 2 rewarded ads each = 20,000 impressions; at a $1.00 eCPM that is about $20 a day. Replace every figure with your own data.

Adsun measurement methodology

Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
