The problem

Big invoices, thin margins

  • Media spend inflates revenue. It hides what the agency itself earns.
  • Cash and profit are mixed. A client can be profitable on paper and late on payment.
  • Campaign dates and approvals sit in different threads. Launches slip.

What you get

What Agency Root does for a media buying agency

Media spend counted your way

Media spend can be included or left out of each client's profitability, because many agencies pass media through without treating it as service revenue. Client profitability then shows the margin on your own work. Included in Agency Growth and Agency Scale.

Client profitability

Collections apart from revenue

The financial dashboard tracks collections and outstanding amounts separately from recognized revenue, so profit on paper is never confused with cash. Included in Agency Growth and Agency Scale.

Invoices and payment status for the client

Generate invoices from an accepted quotation and record payments, including partial ones. The client's finance contact can see invoices and payment status. Included in Agency Growth and Agency Scale.

Quotations, proposals and pricing

Campaigns and reports in one place

The company calendar holds campaigns and deadlines next to meetings and leave. Campaign client reports are published to the client's workspace.
