Chilon Media Governance logo

Chilon Media Governance helps marketers get more value from their media spend through independent, expert governance.

We work only for advertisers, never agencies.

Every engagement starts with a free, confidential consultation.

Media Governance Reviews

The first engagement for most clients.

Using Ascent, our proprietary framework, we assess your media agency arrangements across 22 value drivers, including fees, media pricing, the contract, financial controls, contract management and the relationship.

You receive:

  • A media governance score

  • A quantified view of recoverable value

  • Clear, prioritised actions

We typically identify efficiencies of at least 5% of annual media spend.

Reviews are delivered within 5 business days.
