What is a Media Buyer and What is Media Buying?
A media buyer or media buying agency is a person or organisation that negotiates the best prices to purchase advertising space. A media buyer has the task of trying to keep the costs down for their client whilst also trying to reach the largest possible audience through great placement; it’s a balancing act. We look at performance and return on investment.
When we get your enquiry we pass your enquiry to an approved and experienced media buyer who is an expert in your media type; they have key relationships in place with TV and radio stations, outdoor advertising owners, newspapers etc. So rather than you “cold-calling” these people and being charged “rate card” costs, our teams will get you cheap costs year in, year out as they are buying on a regular basis. Our media planners also have a brilliant understanding of regional demographics and a knowledge of what works in areas all over the country. We also work with a huge cross-section of industries, everything from health and beauty to finance and local government, and we can advise which media works best in these types of areas and niches.
