Refer a Client. Earn 10%.
Davy Agency runs a flat 10% referral commission for music-industry partners. Bring us a client and they sign — you earn 10% of the project value (minus pass-through ad spend). Recurring on every project they do with us going forward.
How it works
1. You introduce. Email us at dp@davy.agency. Tell us who, what they're working on, and why they'd be a fit.
2. We take it from there. No double-billing, no awkward attribution. We mention you sent them, you stay in the loop on the conversation if you want.
3. They sign. Whatever the project value is on the signed contract, you get 10% of it (minus any pass-through ad budget).
4. You get paid. Net 30 from the day the client's first invoice clears. Check, ACH, or PayPal — your call.
5. Recurring. If the same client comes back for another project — a new release, shoot, or tour — you earn 10% of that one too. As long as they keep working with us, you keep earning.
What "minus ad budget" means
When a project includes paid media spend (Meta, Google, sponsored placements), that money passes through to the platforms — we don't margin on it. So referral commissions calculate on the agency-fee portion of the project, not the ad budget.
Example: $20,000 release campaign with $5,000 paid-media budget → you earn 10% of $15,000 = $1,500.
We tell you the math up front. No surprises.
Who this is for
- Recording studios — engineer just finished tracking, artist needs visuals + rollout. Send them our way.
- Managers — you're handling 5+ artists; some of them need creative bigger than you can build in-house.
- Music attorneys + accountants — you talk to founders and labels. Visual identity comes up. We're the call.
- Publicists + PR firms — your client just signed, the press shots are weak, the EPK is missing. We fill the gap.
- Booking agents — the artist wants to tour but the visuals don't match the room. We re-brand.
- Other agencies — full-service or single-channel, we partner well. White-label, joint pitches, overflow.
- Music industry friends — you've worked in this scene long enough to know who needs what. We trust your taste.
Why this works for both of us
You give your network real value (we do good work, transparently priced — see /pricing-guide). You don't have to pretend you build creative when you don't. You earn meaningful money for a 5-minute intro email.
We get clients pre-qualified by someone who knows them. Closes faster, fewer dead-ends, better fit. Worth 10% of the project to us all day.
