Old Townes income from the Sanders campaign has not been disclosed, but the industry standard for ad buy commissions is 15 percent. Based on that formula, the firm could have made $12 million.
Devine whose company has received more than $5 million to create ads for Sanders primary campaign told the Post that he had an additional source of income from the Sanders campaign: a percentage of the ad buys. Devine said he split a commission with Old Towne Media. The exact amount is unclear; the Post reported that he was splitting a single-digit-percentage commission with Old Towne.
