      Set Advertiser Default Agency Compensation

      Here's how to set advertiser default agency compensation in Bionic for Agencies.

      If you have Agency Compensation that consistently occurs for a particular Advertiser, you can set it up in the Advertiser settings to ensure it carries into each campaign that you create for that advertiser.

      Setting this will allow you to separate agency compensation costs from the Net Cost to account for each independently. These will sum together with Production Costs to give you Total Media Cost.  You can select multiple Agency Compensation Costs if this Advertiser has varying compensation plans.

      You can always override these defaults in individual campaigns, or even individual placements as needed.

      In this article, we'll learn how to:

      1. Add Advertiser Default Agency Compensation
      2. Set Default Values
      3. Reorder Agency Compensation
      4. Remove Agency Compensation
