Marketing Buyer’s Guides

Marketing suppliers are paid in ways that are hard to see from the invoice: retainers, mark-ups on production, rebates and commissions. These guides explain how each type of supplier makes money, what fees and rate cards should show, and how to run an agency pitch or RFP that produces comparable proposals.
