Media Planning

Typically, the largest portion of a companies marketing budget goes towards buying media. This places a huge responsibility on the media planning and buying department. Our media planners determine how to best expose the creative message to the desired target. They determine what combination of TV, Radio, Magazines, etc., would reach as many target audience as possible at the lowest cost. The result of their research and analysis is the Media Plan. The Media Plan is formatted similar to a calendar, and lays out when and where the advertisements will appear.

Plan effectiveness can be measured in many ways.

Reach: what percentage of the target audience will be exposed to the ad;

Frequency: how many times the average consumer in the target audience will be exposed to the ad;

Effective Reach: also referred to as ‘3+ reach,’ quantifies the percentage of the target audience that will be exposed to the ad more than three times.

Our media buyers take the media plan recommended by the planners and negotiate its purchase as inexpensively as possible. The media buyer’s front-line experience often provides invaluable expertise on when and how to make these commitments. As a client’s media budget can be quite large, even small tactical changes can result in big savings.
