Media Planning & Buying

Placing your brand, services and products in front of your future customers.

 

What makes our planning and buying bespoke and effective?

 

We don’t view planning and buying as a trading exercise, instead we focus on identifying audiences and behaviours that drive engagement with your brand. We don’t speak of direct response and branding solutions. Instead, we speak of investments that “generate demand and action” as we recognize all online campaigns are aimed at eliciting a response from consumers.

 

Our job is to find the 20% of media inventory that delivers engagement and ROI. All our planning and buying decisions are driven by consumer insight, market intelligence, performance data and collaboration with publishers and creative teams.

 

We leverage the full spectrum of digital media options available including ad exchange platforms, social media, mobile, search and out of home platforms. Increasingly our focus has been on audience extension solutions that allow the purchase of cookie and consumer profile data as opposed to impressions or clicks.

Key considerations when thinking:planning and buying

 

1. Planning and buying is a process of continuous improvement. The common misconception among marketers is that brands are built offline and response driven online. However, all media channels share a dual role: brand and response.

 


2. Every plan should be supported with a cost:benefit comparison of choosing one specific mix of channels, sites and placements over another,  

 

 

3. Planning and buying should be framed against specific outcomes and goals that take into consideration engagement and conversion metrics.
