Media Process

The agency’s media department functions on a sound and tested procedural system that benefits from the skills of both people and technology. Planning often includes a zero-based media and budget approach, which we have found is the best way to achieve most media objectives while securing the lowest possible rates.

We begin by creating market segmentation and demographic profiles of target cities or regions. Working from the creative brief, these profiles give us a firm understanding of consumer desires, preferences and concerns. They are the starting point for the media planning process.
