Entertainment marketing pricing depends on engagement model, scope, and category context. This page describes how Centric structures pricing, what drives cost, and the realistic ranges buyers can expect by program type. Every specific number is flagged because real pricing requires the discovery conversation.

What Drives Cost
Six factors drive entertainment program cost: program scope (channels included, scale of activity); subcategory (streaming vs music vs film vs events have different cost profiles); content production requirements (video, photography, written); influencer / talent layer; paid media management overhead (excluded from media budget); measurement complexity.
Realistic Ranges by Program Type
realistic monthly retainer ranges by program type] - launch programs typically, ongoing always-on programs, event-led programs. Project work scoped per engagement. Specific pricing for your situation requires the discovery call.
What Is and Is Not Included
Typically included: strategy, planning, execution, reporting, team time across the agreed scope. Typically excluded: paid media spend (passed through), influencer fees (passed through), third-party tools and software, expense-based costs (video production travel, talent fees). (See Centric entertainment marketing case studies for scope examples, and how Centric grows entertainment brands in the USA for the engagement model.)
How to Get a Specific Quote
Discovery call to scope (free, see request an entertainment marketing consultation with Centric); audit or discovery engagement if depth is needed; SOW with itemized pricing. We do not quote without discovery because the wrong number costs both parties. Centric delivers entertainment marketing through its entertainment marketing agency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why no public pricing?
Programs vary too much for generic pricing to be useful. Single-event programs and ongoing streaming retainers cost different orders of magnitude.
What is a typical monthly retainer?
Specific to your scope; discovery surfaces the right answer.
Is paid media spend included?
No, generally. Media spend passes through; Centric manages and optimizes within the media budget the client sets.
Do you offer performance-based pricing?
Performance-based pricing fits some engagements; not all. We discuss in scoping.
