Why Traditional Agency Models Like King Kong Are Fundamentally Flawed

The digital marketing industry has a problem: agencies charge the same fee whether they deliver exceptional results or completely fail. Here's why the pay-per-performance model is revolutionizing how businesses approach digital marketing partnerships.

King Kong Model

Traditional Fixed Retainer

Same Fee Regardless of Results

You pay $5,000/month whether they generate $10,000 or $100,000 in value

No Financial Accountability

Agency profits whether your campaigns succeed or fail completely

Misaligned Incentives

Success is measured by retainer retention, not your business growth

Limited Transparency

Vague reporting that doesn't clearly tie spend to revenue outcomes

Risk Transfer to Client

You bear all the financial risk while they guarantee their income

"We'll do our best, but you pay the same regardless of what happens."
