Robust transparency frameworks (cost-plus reporting, third-party audits) build client trust and reduce churn. Volume tiers (higher spend bands) drive negotiated rates and can materially lift agency EBITDA through scale.

Retainers and consulting provide predictable monthly/quarterly fees (tiers for senior involvement). Project fees range 10,000–500,000 USD with milestone billing; post-project retainers ~10–25%. Media commissions 5–15% of spend (2024); performance bonuses tied to ROAS (caps ~30%, floors ~5%); training/IP drive recurring licensing and bundles.
