TrinityP3: An Introduction
• In 2000, Darren Woolley, a scientist and
advertising creative director, founded
TrinityP3 in Australia. His purpose was to
help people to achieve commercial purpose
through creative process. People, Purpose,
Process – the ‘3P’s’ of TrinityP3.
• Sixteen years on, we’ve grown significantly,
in size and in scope. We are Asia Pacific’s
leading strategic marketing management
consultancy with an international network
of industry professionals, consulting at the
leading edge of decision making in the
marketing and advertising industry.
• Our aim is simple. We want to improve the
marketing output of every single
organisation that engages us.
• Generating improvement can mean
challenging the norm and changing values
within a marketing team or broader
organisation. We guide our clients on this
journey, emerging in a better place for the
marketing team and its attributable effect
on the organisation.

extensive contractual experience and app
or web-based evaluation tools.

the world’s top 100 advertisers. We
continue to grow in experience,

years of experience in a specialised field
within marketing and procurement.

Overview: ROI Definitions
Typically, TrinityP3 adds value in a pitch process
by ensuring the following:
1. That the needs of marketing and advertising
are clearly articulated and fulfilled by the
process.
2. That the process meets the highest
standards of due diligence and corporate
governance.
3. That the principles of procurement and
marketing are accommodated in the process
to achieve the best outcome for both the
client and the suppliers.
We flex within the requirements of specific clients
as much as possible, within scope; no two
processes are exactly alike.

Overview: ROI Definitions
The resultant Return on Investment generated by
this delivery can therefore take many forms.
For clarity, we have split the definition of ROI into
three components.
1. Financial ROI: Optimal Efficiency, Optimal
Effectiveness.
2. Operational ROI: Refined Process,
Refined Delivery.
3. Post-Project ROI: The Benefits of a
Productive Agency Relationship.

Financial ROI
• TrinityP3 has been in operation for 16 years,
and during most of that time, we have been
conducting agency pitch processes on behalf
of our clients.
• During this period, we have built and evolved
considerable data-driven IP that we apply as
industry benchmarks when assessing
financial proposals.
• Our aim is not to deliver ‘the cheapest’ or
‘cheaper than last time’. Our aim is to deliver
best possible value, sustainable to both
parties and commensurate with the market.
• As agency service models and methods of
delivery become more complex, and the
agency marketplace becomes more
cluttered, it becomes harder for advertisers to
truly understand the relative level of
competitiveness of any given proposal.
• Agencies are often able to significantly mark
up many elements contained within overall
scope, beyond reasonable market levels. Our
assessment negates any gain of unfair
advantages through excessive mark-up.

Financial ROI
• Our financial assessment is comprehensive. Based on a specific scope of work and
remuneration structure that we can help you to build, we assess and benchmark agencies
not just against each other, but critically against our extensive market data across many
criteria, including but not limited to:
• Retainer value
• Overhead recovery
• Profit mark up
• Non-retained head hour fees by position
• Cost breakdown by campaign type/area of scope
• Various production incidentals
• FTE level, skillset composition and seniority composition
• Performance Incentive Payment mechanisms
• Our ability to demonstrate to Subway Australia exactly where cost savings or other
improvements could be made across all of these disparate elements, what levers to pull in
negotiation is at the heart of the Financial ROI proposition. Subway Australia will emerge
with confidence that the agreement it reaches with a chosen agency represents
strongest possible financial value across the board.

Operational ROI
• TrinityP3 is highly experienced in conducting agency reviews and pitches. Prior to joining
TrinityP3, our consultants all have at least 10-15 years of specific experience in field, on
agency and client side.
• Pitches can be extremely costly to advertisers. There is a significant amount of management,
organisation and structuring required to achieve a successful pitch.
• The process we undertake with you is designed to remove much of this internal cost, thereby
offering significant operational ROI benefits to Subway Australia.
• Our process encompasses the following key elements:
• Specific briefing base from Subway Australia, against which we commence our search.
• Use of multiple data sources, overlaid with experience, to select the best agency
candidates. Data sources include our proprietary agency register, with access to
detailed information across more than 2,000 agencies from many disciplines.
• Chemistry, strategic and creative assessment, with detailed scoring mechanics and
feedback forms at each stage.
• Rigorous discussion and guidance with specialists.
• Comprehensive project management and administration.

Operational ROI
• From an operational perspective, Subway
Australia derives ROI from:
• Smoother, faster process,
delivering internal cost savings.
• Higher level of confidence in
decision making, resulting from
expert guidance at each stage –
consequently improving the likelihood
of a long and productive agency
relationship.
• Less required internal resource –
we take the strain away from you,
handling all agency liaison and
project management as required.
• A tailored outcome, taking
advantage of our rich mix of hard
data, specialist experience and
assessment tools.

Post-Project ROI
Throughout this document, TrinityP3 has stated
the importance of creating a sustainable and
productive agency relationship.
Working with us to optimise the outcome of
your agency pitch process carries a number of
related ROI benefits:
• A tailored outcome increases the chance
of a longer relationship tenure, thus
reducing repeat pitch costs to the business
over time.
• A mutually beneficial and productive
agency agreement based on rigorous
two-way assessment builds strong
foundations, and is more likely to yield
better outputs over time.
• Better outputs have knock-on ROI effects
on your business outcomes, derived from
advertising/marketing activity.
