Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

There are three basic methods by which clients compensate agencies for services rendered:
1 . Commissions from media. Historically, U.S. advertising agencies charged a standard commission of 15 percent of the gross amount of billings. The 15 percent compensation system has been a matter of some controversy, and today only a fraction of advertisers still pay a 15 percent commission. Rather, a reduced commission system has experienced increased usage.
2 . Labor-based fee system. With this method, agencies monitor their time and bill clients an hourly fee based on time commitment.
3 . Outcome- or performance-based programs. These represent the most common approach to agency compensation and are based on covering costs and incentive payments that are tied to a brand's performance goals. This system encourages, indeed demands, agencies to use whatever IMC programs are needed to build brand sales.
