Are you paying too much? Or too little?
Ad Cost Checker is an advertising cost benchmarking calculator that allows you to statistically benchmark the hour rates and fees for creative, media, digital, social, design and advertising production.
At the core of the Ad Cost Checker is an extensive database of agency rates and industry costs collected and used by TrinityP3 in our consultancy practice across a wide range of agencies and advertisers across all major categories and a wide range of spend and budget sizes.
Benchmarks are obviously dependent on the role or cost centre selected.
But they are also dependent on the size and ownership of the agency and the size and relationship with the client.
This is designated at small, medium and large, independent or network agency and local or multinational corporation advertiser.
The analysis of the data we have collected and used over 20 years shows that the relationship of agency ownership and size and the relationship type with the type and size of the advertisers impacts on the rates typically charged.
For clients or agencies, Ad Cost Checker is fast, simple to use and provides an accurate independent benchmark.
