Everstage for the Marketing & Advertising Industry

Run Commission Plans Without The Frustration Of Third-party Vendors

Media-margin commissions, retainers, deal splits, and pay-on-collection timing are hard to run on spreadsheets and slow to change on legacy comp tools. Everstage lets adtech, martech, agency, and research teams build and change any plan without external help, and gives sellers real-time visibility into their payouts.

The fastest-growing ad channels can't run on the slowest comp tools and processes

CTV and retail media are spinning up new seller teams and new comp plans faster than most tools can keep up. AI-driven programmatic platforms scale managed spend quarterly, agencies still calculate retainer and new-business commissions by hand, and post-merger orgs are stitching together plans across divisions and currencies. Comp structures in this industry change constantly; the process behind them usually doesn't.

New channels, new plans,
every quarter

 CTV ad spend is growing ~38% year over year and retail media ~42%. Every new channel means new seller teams and new comp plans. Don't let each one take a quarter to ship

Programmatic scale demands margin-accurate comp

Global programmatic advertising reached ~$834B in 2025. As platforms scale managed spend, commissions tied to media margin need calculation your sellers and your auditors can trust.

A $1T industry still paying sellers off spreadsheets

Advertising services will have a near $1.03T valuation in 2025, with digital driving ~62% of agency revenue. Yet most agencies still calculate retainer, new-business, and split commissions manually with the errors and disputes to show for it.

Sales commission software built for how marketing and advertising actually pays

Integrate and automate your entire commission process

Pull bookings, invoices, paid dates, managed spend, and split allocations directly from Salesforce, HubSpot, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Snowflake or any other tools that you use. Everstage calculates on live data, applies earned-vs-paid logic for collection-timed commissions, and routes approvals automatically so Finance stops rebuilding the month in Excel.

Implementation by our in-house professional services team

We build your plans with you including phased migration off other tools with a parallel payout cycle so you switch without missing a payroll. Admins and sellers get onboarding, you get plan-design guidance and ongoing support, and you're never left to be the engineer.

Change any plan quickly with the Intuitive Plan Builder

Model any and all types of commission plans by yourself, without the help of IT or any external consultants and change tickets. When plans change mid-year (they will), your team will ship the update quickly, not a quarter, and govern a dozen concurrent plans from one place.

Unlock insights with BI-powered dashboards and reporting

Slice compensation data by plan, team, division, or currency. Track plan effectiveness against media margin and collections, catch payout anomalies before payroll runs, and hand auditors a complete trail with version history, approvals, and
adjustments included.

Motivate sellers with Crystal commission forecasting

Give AEs, CSMs, and partnership sellers live dashboards and "what if I close this" payout across every deal, split, and currency. When sellers can see exactly how a deal or a collection moves their number, trust in the plan goes up and so does productivity.

“Everstage has completely transformed our commission reporting process. It is incredibly easy to use, significantly reduces time spent on manual tasks and eliminates human error. Our agents love the real-time visibility into their commissions and upcoming pay, which keeps them motivated and helps them identify areas for performance improvement."
