Work runs on a quarterly planning cycle with monthly execution and reporting. Each quarter closes with a written recap and a fresh plan for the next.

TRACK 2 · CAMPAIGN EXECUTION
Paid media management, organic social, email and lifecycle campaigns, landing pages, and content assets required to run the plan. Execution is handled end-to-end by the Agency's specialists.
TRACK 3 · MEASUREMENT AND OPTIMIZATION
Attribution setup, weekly performance monitoring, monthly written reports with insights and recommendations, and a review call with leadership to decide what to double down on or stop.

The Marketing Agency Contract template is a five-page document for putting the arrangement on paper before it starts. It carries a cover, a parties and purpose page with stat cards, a scope or terms section broken into three tracks with obligations, a fees or reference table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, adjust the terms to match your engagement, and set the numbers. Merge fields handle the party names and date, and the last page collects the details you asked for, an authorization checkbox, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
