Morphology
The meaning 'a company that creates advertisements' is directly and compositionally derived from 'advertising' (the activity of making ads) + 'agency' (a firm offering services). This noun–noun compound follows a regular, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Advertising agency comes from advertising, meaning 'telling people about a product or service', and agency, meaning 'a person or company that acts for someone else'. Imagine a company that 'acts for' a brand to make and send messages to customers, so that's why an advertising agency is a business that creates ads and campaigns for other companies.
