FAQ
Common Questions
What is media buying?
Media buying is the process of purchasing advertising space and time across media channels. It involves researching audience behavior, selecting the right platforms, negotiating rates, and managing placements to ensure your ads reach the right people at the best value.
How is media buying different from media planning?
Media planning is the strategy — deciding which channels, audiences, and timing will best achieve your goals. Media buying is the execution — negotiating rates and purchasing the placements that the plan calls for. We handle both as an integrated process.
Do you buy traditional media as well as digital?
Yes. We plan and buy across both digital and traditional channels including print, radio, and out-of-home when they are relevant to your audience and goals. The media mix is determined by where your target audience spends their time.
How do you ensure we get the best rates?
We leverage established publisher relationships, aggregate buying volume, negotiate added-value bonuses, and use competitive data to benchmark rates. Every placement is evaluated against performance benchmarks to ensure value.
