The Anti-Retainer
Ah… the retainer: the agency world's holy grail, offering the allure of guaranteed monthly revenue for agencies from clients who might not tap into their full allocation of hours.
On the surface, it's a dream come true:
Agencies get financial stability, while clients get discounted access to a pool of creative talent, ready to spring into action with preferential turnaround times.
But here's the catch: The retainer model, while not inherently flawed, often veers off course when agency and client incentives misalign. What starts as a secure, mutually beneficial arrangement can quickly turn into a rigid pact that prioritises agency revenue over client value and agility.
Clients typically find themselves locked into paying for hours they don't use, or exceeding their discounted hours and facing premium rates and escalating costs.
Meanwhile, the agency, comforted by a steady income, might lose the drive to push creative boundaries, settling instead to meeting the bare minimum required by the contract.
What's the alternative? The good old, much maligned pay-as-you-go model.
1. Client and agency are aligned, the client only pays for what they need 2. Clients retain financial and operational agility 3. Agencies are kept sharp, incentivised to perform and their peak.
No busy-work. Promise.
