Digital Budget Guideline
• GOAL - 20% of total marketing budget allocated to digital*********– *********NOTE: This could be drastically
underserving your client’s objectives depending upon said objectives and total budget

Strategy vs. Tactics
• Create the Digital Marketing Strategy WITH your client– Facilitated session(s) with key stakeholders to
define objectives and achieve buy-in
• Deliver a plan that meets objectives and budget parameters defined– Agency versus Media fees will be irrelevant

Cost Pricing

Value Pricing
• To run and maintain a healthy business, a seller (the agency) must earn a profit on every transaction. But the buyer (the client) must earn a profit as well. This is the essential nature of value creation.
