The subject of agency remuneration goes well beyond the question of “How much does communication cost?” or “How much does an agency cost?”. Together, we consider which agency remuneration model makes most sense for you, from performance-based remuneration to communication packages charged at a flat rate – whether at the start or after many years of trusting cooperation with an agency. We develop agency remuneration models that meet your individual requirements and support you in the purchasing of agency services, whether from a creative agency, a PR agency or a social media specialist.
A successful client-agency relationship requires a remuneration model and conditions that make sense for both sides. We help you find the right balance.
We have been dealing with agency remuneration for over 19 years and have a very good overview of what’s common, possible and makes sense in the industry. We always support the client side, but never forget that a good deal also has to suit the agency partner if you want successful communication solutions.
We have developed remuneration models for several hundred relationships, compared conditions and helped with the negotiations. We have our own widely used cherrypicker Agency Rate Card and with our cherrypicker fee database, we have a unique market overview of agency conditions. We are more than happy to use this when determining the right remuneration model and appropriate terms for you.
Benchmarking based on years of market knowledge
cherrypicker has built up the largest database of agency prices and agency fees and can consider agency offers on this basis. We have approx. 20,000 price lists from over a decade in agency management, we know the usual market prices and the benchmarks of individual sectors and disciplines.
We can review and benchmark agency offers and cost estimates without disclosing confidential information. We put you in a strong negotiating position and let you get a feel for fair cooperation and appropriate agency fees. The goal is always to improve cooperation with agencies.
Performance-based remuneration pays off
Why not let an agency share the rewards of their success? Success-related remuneration can be a valuable tool, especially if you want to remunerate your agency based on performance. We help you set up a simple and practical system and can also regularly evaluate it if required.
Why is this important? So that the agency has the same objectives as you and you can motivate the agency to provide an even better service.
