Media Buying and Planning
Our team has 20+ years of experience buying in local, regional, and nationwide markets and have bought media in more than 25 states. Our process includes script and creative development, media planning, media buying, and ongoing media management.
Should you decide to partner with us on your media buying, we walk you through the following steps to get you maximum coverage, at the most cost-effective rates.
1. Initial Setup
When initially setting up a media campaign, we review your past sales and your future sales goals to help you set achievable media goals. After establishing who your core customers are, we identify the best avenues (e.g., broadcast, digital, print) to reach them. If necessary, based on these goals, we will determine the content/direction of the campaign. Our media buyer then determines the buying parameters (of the various media forms) based on your goals and the direction of the campaign. This may include a goal cost per thousand people reached, the % of market to be reached with a goal frequency number; length of ads; weeks/days for the ads to run; types of programming within which the ads will run.
2. Negotiating
Our media buyer goes out and avails the market to seek out opportunities and evaluates the initial avails to start whittling down the best opportunities for you. Then, our media buyer negotiates 2-3 rounds with media outlets to secure the best rates and placement with your goals in mind. Lastly, our media buyer will present the best media plan for your approval.
3. Placement
After your approval, our media buyer purchases ad space with media outlets and reviews the contracts to ensure that spots are airing in proper places.
4. Ad Production
If you don’t already have content for the campaign, we’ll work with you to develop the script for your spot and to produce the commercial. *See an example of our on-site production for Isthmus Eye Care.
5. Ongoing Campaign Management
After the commercials are developed, they are sent out to the media outlets and we will follow your ad spots to make sure there are no pre-emptions (a short way of saying that your ad spots aren’t bid out by a higher bidder. If they are, we negotiate for a spot that is of equal or better value to the one that you lost). Monitoring the ad spots is a crucial step to making sure you are getting what you paid for. While monitoring your ads, we may find that ad updates may be needed depending on length/scope of the campaign. After the media plan has gone out, we will review the process and campaign with you to identify opportunities for improvement.
