• Improved advertiser performance.
• Goal alignment and congruence.
• Types:
• Bonus - additional to the agreed profit margin.
• Cost recovery - represents all profit.
• Shared risk and reward - agency puts % of margin at risk
and advertiser meets that % in pool.
• Earn back - agency puts % of margin at risk to be paid in
results.

Performance Criteria
• Business Performance (Hard)
• E.g. sales, traffic, profit, market share, volume growth,
etc. These can be measured by the same criteria that the
advertiser uses for their internal bonus systems.
• Advertising Performance (Medium)
• EG: product awareness, ad awareness measures,
consumer measures, attitude ratings, persuasion,
purchase intent, awards, brand equity, image,
effectiveness awards, etc.
• Agency Performance (Soft)
• Relates to the evaluation of agency functional areas:
account services, creative and media in terms of:
performance, service, relationship, cost efficiencies, etc

Moving from Input/Costs to Outcome/Value
• Most of the existing models are input / cost based that
reward volume of work and not effectiveness.
• The current best practice is to move to an output based /
pricing model that fixes the value based on output.
• The leading trend is for a value based remuneration model
where the reward is based on the value created or
contributed.
• Therefore the global remuneration trend is summarized by:

5 Challenges of Performance Payments
1. Agencies are hesitant to link
compensation to performance
2. The performance criteria prove difficult to
agree on
3. The scope of the incentive is too narrow
4. It proves difficult to budget the payment
5. Disputes over the payment of the
incentive
17. marketing management consultants
Common Mistakes
• Negotiating one variable, such as the
overhead and profit multiple and miss the
other variables
• Using average cost per FTE (divide the
total cost by the number of FTEs)
• Not agreeing total or maximum billable
hours
22. marketing management consultants
Tapping into the best talent
• Demand Agency Org Charts – are you aware of
the size and structure of the agency
• Are Management part of ‘Overhead’? Are heads of
capabilities actively involved in your business?
What proportion of their time are you getting?
• Track award winning business from your agency –
why are your team not winning? Is another client
getting a ‘better’ team? If so, why?
23. marketing management consultants
Ongoing Hygiene Problems
• Accounting for total man hours
• Assessing Team Dynamic and Relationship
• Reviewing Capabilities and Agency
Product
24. marketing management consultants
Assessing Agency Capabilities
• Don’t underestimate the
value of a capabilities review
with your roster agencies
• Agencies usually only provide
to clients what they are
requested and do not have
time to update you on their
progress in other areas
• Calibr8or is launching to help
assess agency capabilities
and performance
25. marketing management consultants
Benchmarking Agency Rates
• Agency costs are difficult to
break down
• No standard costs are
followed and limited
resources to assess where
your stand
• Benchmarking is one simple
solution
