Rate questions, answered
- Are these x Elite agency's exact rates?
- These are guide ranges based on typical Sydney market bookings. Your firm quote depends on the brief, usage, territory and booking period — contact us and we'll confirm an exact figure, usually within a few hours.
- What counts as a half day vs a full day?
- A half day is up to 4 consecutive hours on set; a full day is up to 8 hours including breaks. Overtime beyond 8 hours is quoted pro-rata in advance.
- Do the rates include usage rights?
- No. Usage (media, territory and duration) is quoted on top of the session rate, as is standard across Australian agencies. Tell us where the content will run and we'll include it in one clear quote.
- Is there an agency or booking fee?
- A standard agency service fee applies on top of talent rates and is itemised in every quote, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
