PUBLISHED PRICING
6% of media spend. Month to month.
One rate card, published on the site. No retainer inflation, no hidden media commission, no junior dilution. The fee must earn its place inside your P&L before we take another quarter.
THE 6% PAYS-FOR-ITSELF PROMISE
Our fee must earn its place.
We agree the baseline in the first-month audit and validate at least the equivalent of our 90-day fee in recoverable waste or incremental value. If we cannot prove it in your numbers, we recommend ending the engagement and hand everything over.

WHAT OPERATORS SAY

“Our previous agency reported a 3.8× ROAS. Ads Legendary rebuilt tracking on our side and showed us the real number was 1.9×. Painful - but we cut $180K of spend that same quarter and put it into the accounts that actually paid back.”

“The 6% math felt too good until we ran it. On $600K/mo of spend we're paying a fifth of what our previous shop billed, with a senior pod on the account instead of a rotating cast of juniors.”
[[Head of Performance]]
Head of Performance · [[DTC APPAREL, $18M ARR]]
“They ship 20+ concepts a week and kill the losers by Friday. We haven't had creative fatigue as a real problem in six months - which is the first time I can say that in a decade of running paid social.”

FAQ
Pricing FAQ.
A retainer decouples the fee from the outcome. A percentage of spend keeps the studio honest - the fee scales with the account, and we are only worth keeping if the account is scaling too. It also makes churn cheap for you, which we think is a feature.
