Value Proposition
Talent and Experience with No Agency Commissions, Markups or Conflict of Interest!
Bane Marketing & Communications is not a marcom or advertising agency. Rather than continually pursuing new business, Marc will only handle a select group of clients at any one time, and personally writes all marketing materials and campaigns. He works with your own designers or his network of reasonably-priced designers and other marketing support vendors who bill independently. Bane Marketing adds no markups or commissions from vendors or media.
Agencies also have overhead that you pay for — Account Execs. Account Supervisors, Account Managers, Copywriters, Creative Directors, and accounting staff. These agency staffers, as well as a host of administrative costs, are factored right into your invoice. When you finally get your bill, you might wonder if the agency put most of its creative talent in the billing department.
One Flat Monthly Fee Adds a Talented Member to Your Go-To-Market Team
Bane Marketing offers its services for a flat monthly fee, calculated on the projected volume of your marketing activities. Marc Bane becomes a member of your marketing or management team, and you have virtually unlimited access to his marketing management skills and creative talent. If the level of marketing activity changes significantly from projected levels, fees can be adjusted accordingly with the written permission of both parties. If at any time the client is not completely satisfied with the level of quality or service, our contractor agreements are cancelable with 30 days notice, eliminating all risk. Bane will also contract on a project by project or hourly fee arrangement.

All Creative Concept and Copywriting Done Personally by Marc Bane
Most importantly of all, Marc does all creative concept, copywriting, and project management. It’s all included on the monthly fee, whether you do one campaign or twenty. That’s why Marc can typically create an ad or direct marketing program for a fraction of what an agency would charge. And because your management interfaces directly with the ultimate copywriter who knows your company and your industry, your marketing campaigns are not only better, they are created and executed in a fraction of the time.
