PRICING
OVERVIEW
As a full-service provider, MDR traditionally works on a commission plus
service fees retainer billing structure. We take pride in taking the time to work
closely with clients to tailor agency partnerships and relationships for each
based on their needs, budgets and internal resources.
WE UNDERSTAND EVERY CLIENT IS UNIQUE. We collaborate with you in the
first thirty days to determine a phased approach to execute the deliverables
recommended after our discovery process. Below is a view of our internal team
structure that includes a glimpse of the types of professional services MDR
talent provides that can potentially be applied to a client project or need.
Retainer Billing:
Our retainer relationships are typically negotiated for a minimum 12-month
term. Retainer arrangements allow client to pay for unspecified agency
services often at a bulk, pre-sale rate, reserving time spent on your projects
and allowing for strategic advice and creative consult on new or emerging
projects as they develop. This option also enables client to establish monthly
budgeting for agency services and fees across the contract period. Agency
retainer relationships are built and negotiated on an individual basis and often
change in scope and scale from year to year depending on the marketing
landscape of the business and the types of agency services that will be
provided.
Project Billing:
As a retainer client, you also receive priority consideration for new project work
if/when these needs arise. Custom estimates for additional work outside of an
agreement scope can be provided upon request as delivery timelines and
agency work-flow traffic will accommodate.
*Blended Rate Billing ($200.00/hour)
MDR uses a blended services rate (one fee for all job functions) since most job
deliverables in our agency overlap due to our collaborative environment. We
have also found this to be the most fair and efficient way to get compensated
for our time while being cost conscious for our clients, rather than billing
different fees for each type of service/talent or experience level. Our billing rate
is based on the following factors:
· We prioritize existing workflow and ongoing long-term clients, projects
· We look at the expertise and experience levels of our staff
· We constantly monitor past jobs to gauge our efficiency
· We evaluate the market to ensure we remain competitive
· We consider the project scope and delivery timeline
Media Billing:
Based upon mediums and media spend, MDR typically earns a 15-35%
management fee on all media and related out of house purchases up to $3
million which is deducted from gross expenditures. Percentage varies based
on medium and will be disclosed and agreed to by both parties prior to
placement or purchase. This management fee is received by billing gross
costs and covers planning, negotiating, placing, tracking, reconciling,
reporting, and payment of all vendors. In addition, based on media
investment, media commission provides these noteworthy client benefits
and advantages:
- Up to 20% in media added value (much more with co-op opportunities)
- Expertise, research, and knowledge of media marketplace
- Rate and added-value negotiation
- Buy reconciliation ensuring all media runs as intended and requesting make goods
and/or credits when necessary
- Time saved on your end with buying, managing, tracking and billing activities
- Identification and research of emerging media trends and opportunities
- Knowledge of new products and services for tracking across all touch points
- Access to MDR’s paid tools, platforms, subscriptions which may include real-time
dashboard analytic reporting (contingent on media investment levels)
Specialty Services: Video, Sound & Animation:
11th Floor Studios is our full in-house production studio and editing suite that produces
award-winning video, sound and animation using the latest technology, equipment
and techniques. This service is an added benefit to you as it allows us to generate
premium quality content quickly and efficiently. We can work with existing video
assets to repurpose what you have. Or we can concept, shoot and develop new assets
to help supplement your existing library or a special project. Quotes provided as
needed and billed separately.
