SUCCESS STORIES

Negotiated a reduced agency commercial proposal by 56% for a leading QSR brand

Our proprietary agency profit benchmarks enabled us to negotiate a 12% reduction in agency margin for a leading U.S. consumer packaged goods company.

During our analysis of the finalist agencies’ commercial proposals, negotiated a reduction in the client’s preferred agency candidate by 27% bringing their bid into an acceptable range before the final agency presentations were made.

Revised agency incentive compensation structure from purely upside to a risk/reward structure that was in line with industry best practices and preferred by both client and agency alike.

Identified and eliminated areas that our client was being over-charged on digital media commissions resulting in a more efficient and equitable compensation structure and six figure savings for the brand.

Proprietary staff rate benchmarks resulted in a 5% decrease in the blended hourly rate while the seniority of the agency staff was significantly increased for a leading trade association.
