Budget estimate

$60,000 – $120,000

The RFP does not disclose an agency fee amount, but the media budget is $300‑$340 k per year. Typical agency fees for full‑service marketing/advertising work range from 10‑20 % of media spend, plus a base consulting retainer. Assuming a 12‑15 % fee, the annual agency revenue would be roughly $36‑$51 k, yielding $72‑$102 k over the two‑year base period. Adjustments for project complexity, deliverables, and optional media services could push the range to $60‑$120 k.
