Frequently Asked Questions

What KPIs should a marketing services agreement include?
This depends on the service, but common KPIs include: reach and impressions, engagement rate, leads generated, conversion rate, and cost per acquisition. Tying fees to KPIs creates a performance-based arrangement — make sure the metrics are clearly defined and measurable.
Is a marketing services agreement binding in Kenya?
Yes, under the Law of Contract Act (Cap. 23). The agreement should be specific about deliverables and timelines — 'providing marketing support' is too vague to be enforceable as written.
Who is liable if a marketing campaign causes brand damage?
The agreement should allocate this risk. The service provider is typically liable for content they created and approved without client sign-off. The client is liable for instructions they provided that caused the damage. A clear approval process with written sign-off protects both parties.
