Pricing.
This is not a standard agency retainer. We don't charge for hours, decks, or creativity. We charge for cost reduction, structured in three ways depending on where you are.
The agency retainer is structurally broken.
Traditional agency retainers charge you a fixed monthly fee to "manage" your media spend. The more you spend, the more they earn. Their revenue is tied to your gross spend, not your net return.
We invert this. Our models are structured around measurable cost reduction. When you save, we share in that, or we charge a flat structure that's modest relative to the savings we deliver. The alignment is by design.
- × Fixed retainer regardless of savings
- × % commission on spend
- × No transparency on rate card
- × Incentive to increase spend
- ✓ Fee tied to cost reduction
- ✓ Full rate card transparency
- ✓ Incentive to reduce cost
- ✓ Savings > our fee, always
Three ways to work with us
Choose the structure that matches where you are. All models are transparent, measurable, and structured so that our fee is always less than your saving.
Audit & Optimize
For companies that want to understand exactly what they're overpaying before committing to a structural change. We conduct a comprehensive audit of your media spend, benchmark it against market, identify the gaps, and deliver a prioritised optimisation plan.
Ideal for
Companies spending €25K–€100K/month who want to understand their overpayment before restructuring their media buying.
Deal Access Retainer
Ongoing access to our deal flow, sourcing intelligence, and negotiation leverage. We operate as your media buying intelligence desk, alerting you to relevant inventory, negotiating on your behalf, and executing deals as they arise. You pay a monthly retainer that is structured to be a fraction of what you save.
Ideal for
Companies spending €75K–€500K/month on media who want ongoing cost intelligence and access to deal flow as their primary media buying infrastructure.
Full Infrastructure
Partnership
For companies with significant media spend (€500K+/month) who want Meier Media to fully embed as their media buying function. We take complete ownership of media procurement, operating on a performance-based fee structure tied directly to documented savings. If we don't save you money, we don't earn.
Ideal for
Large advertisers spending €500K+/month who want complete media cost infrastructure without a full internal team, on a performance-aligned basis.
We are selective about who we work with.
Not because we're precious about it. Because our model works best at scale, and below a certain spend level, the infrastructure cost of working with us doesn't justify the savings we deliver.
We're direct about this because we respect your time and ours. If you don't meet the minimum, we'll tell you, and we'll suggest when to come back.
Total marketing media spend across all channels. This is the threshold below which our model doesn't generate sufficient savings to justify engagement.
Common questions
No. We work alongside your existing team or agency, specifically on the cost infrastructure of media buying. We don't touch creative, strategy, or brand. We focus entirely on what you pay for media and how to reduce it.
The audit delivers a saving projection within 2–3 weeks. For clients on the Deal Access Retainer, the first cost-advantaged deal is typically executed within 30 days of onboarding. The savings compound over time as we build a more precise profile of your inventory needs.
Rarely. In most cases, we can access the same or equivalent placements through our direct relationships at significantly lower cost than you're currently paying. In some cases, we'll recommend superior alternatives at lower cost. We work within your parameters.
We don't bring you deals that don't save you money. Every deal we present includes a clear cost comparison: rate card, our negotiated rate, our fee, and your net saving. If the maths doesn't work, the deal doesn't come to you.
The Audit & Optimize engagement is project-based with no ongoing commitment. The Deal Access Retainer has a 3-month minimum term, this is the time required to see the savings compound properly. The Infrastructure Partnership is structured on a 12-month basis.
Completely. Every engagement comes with a full cost breakdown: the rate we negotiated, the rate card reference, and our fee. You see every number. No blended fees, no hidden markups. If we can't show you the full picture, we won't take the deal.
Marketing is not expensive.
Buying it wrong is.
The first conversation costs nothing. Start with an audit and find out exactly how much you're overpaying.
