France Telecom-owned mobile phone network Orange will in future remunerate its agency, the London office of Lowe Lintas & Partners, on a results basis
Lowe Lintas, which snatched the £50 million account from WCRS last August, will be paid a fee geared to a range of client-imposed criteria – including “the contribution of advertising to the company's overall share price”.
According to Orange purchasing manager Tina Fegent, the scheme could see Lowe Lintas earning up to 50% more than its basic fee. A similar arrangement is successfully in place with Orange’s media planning/buying shop, the Media Planning Group.
Ms Fegent omitted to explain the precise formula by which “the contribution of advertising to the company's overall share price” would be calculated.
