Two ways to pay for campaign management
Both models are funded by an advertising prepayment that covers the estimated media budget plus the service fee. The model, targets, and amounts for each engagement are fixed in the service agreement before launch. Invoice line items use the exact terms shown on this page.
Performance-Based
Per agreed CPA / ROAS target service fee
The client funds the estimated media budget by advertising prepayment. The service fee is calculated at the end of each settlement cycle against the CPA or ROAS targets agreed in the service agreement — the fee is earned only on the portion of delivery that meets the agreed targets.
Media Spend + Management Fee
Media spend + 5% of ad spend, as management fee
The client funds the estimated media budget by advertising prepayment. Media platforms are paid as ads run, and the agency charges a management fee of 5% of ad spend for planning, building, optimizing, and reporting on the campaigns.
How the prepayment mechanism works
Why prepayment
Media platforms — search, social, and programmatic — require accounts to be funded before ads can serve, and they bill on their own cycles. Collecting an advertising prepayment lets us fund media continuously without interrupting live campaigns. This is standard practice for advertising management agencies.
Available balance & usage ledger
Each client has an available balance and a usage ledger. Prepayments increase the balance; recorded media usage and service fees decrease it. Every ledger entry corresponds to a media platform invoice or a fee line, and clients may request a reconciliation at any time.
Reconciliation
At the end of each settlement cycle we issue a statement that reconciles the prepayment, media usage, and service fees for that period. The statement's line items match the invoice terms shown above word for word, and underlying media invoices are available on request.
Unused balance
Any unused portion of the prepayment at the end of an engagement is handled per the service agreement: refunded to the original payment method within 7–14 business days, or credited toward the next campaign period at the client's election. Details are on the Refund Policy page.
Consistency note: the terms on this page — Advertising Prepayment — Media Budget (estimated usage), Management Fee — 5% of Ad Spend, and Performance Fee — per agreed CPA target — are the same names used on our invoices and statements. See Invoices & Billing for the full mapping.
