Sports clubs and organizations marketing agency costs

Your figures, your scope

Build your own budget.

Enter a written quote or your own allowance. Published examples are not filled in or added together: they cover different scopes, currencies and billing periods.

Check this guide’s sourced prices and exclusions ↓, then confirm which items your proposal includes. Count each cost once.

Use numbers with up to two decimal places, without commas or currency symbols. Leave unknown costs blank; enter 0 only if you have confirmed no charge.

Entered monthly subtotal

—No amounts entered.

Entered one-time subtotal

—No amounts entered.

These are subtotals of your entries, not a quote or an all-in estimate. Blank items are unknown, not free. Taxes, usage charges, percentage fees and any omitted work still need confirming. Monthly and one-time costs remain separate.

Give every agency the same questions

Compare quotes on the same terms.

Tick an item after each agency has answered it in writing. A lower fee can cover less work; keep your goal, scope and time period consistent.

• Same deliverables and goalAsk each agency to list the channels, deliverables, quantities, revisions, deadlines and success measures for the same brief.
• Agency fee and billing periodSeparate the monthly retainer, hourly or project fee. Ask what is included, any minimum commitment, and the currency and tax treatment.
• Ad spend paid to platformsList media spend separately. Confirm who pays the platforms, any minimum spend, markups and whether management fees change with spend.
• Setup and extra costsItemize onboarding, creative production, tools, hosting, travel and out-of-scope rates. Mark bundled items so you do not count them twice.
• Variable fees and assumptionsFor percentage-of-spend or performance fees, ask for the formula, a worked example, caps and the measurement basis. Identify anything still priced on request.
• Contract and exit termsCompare contract length, renewal, notice period, cancellation fees, payment schedule and the cost of handing work over.
• Team, access and ownershipConfirm who will do the work, available capacity, account access, ownership of data and creative, and what transfers to you if the relationship ends.
• Evidence and reportingAsk for comparable client references, the source and dates behind result claims, the attribution approach, and reporting frequency. A case study is not a result guarantee.
