Media planning is the process of creating the most effective advertising campaigns for a company so that it can achieve its marketing aims. These aims typically include increasing sales and brand awareness and ultimately increasing profits.

What is Media Planning?

In a nutshell, effective media planning is the brains behind any successful advertising campaign and media plan. This process is the first step to make sure that the advertising that you choose to do has the desired effect; this usually is to drive awareness and/or increase sales. Once the most suitable media platforms have been identified and the campaign has been put together and approved, a media buyer will take over. We can deal with the whole process of planning and buying.  Planners are therefore responsible for the first stage of the process; suggesting effective options, these are based on individual aims and ambitions.

With years of experience and key relationships already in place, our teams create bespoke campaigns and then secure the best sites, prices and locations. When we get your enquiry, one of our media planning team members will give you a call to chat about what you are looking for and then put together this plan. You may know what you want to do but sometimes our planner may suggest something new, which you hadn't thought of, which could work well. The media planning team will identify the two most important factors:

  1. Which form of advertising is best suited to your target market - this could be anything from billboard ads to newspaper, social media, or TV advertising.

  2. Timing - where and when this promotional activity should be carried out to have maximum impact and return on investment.

Your Media Planner

Depending on the information we get from you, we will match you and your business with an appropriate media planning handler to help you reach your target audience. Our planners are hand-picked. Sometimes they may be local to you; other times, they may be a specialist in your niche, business area or in the type of media channels that will be most suitable for your media plan and advertising campaign; either way, they will have a chat with you and then put together a creative, bespoke and cost-effective campaign, designed to get you the results you want. 

On approaching us, a large majority of people are undecided on the ideal ways to promote their business or product - this is entirely normal. Most clients approach us knowing they “need to do something” to improve sales, raise brand awareness and get noticed but are uncertain of the way forward. If you are in this position, this is something our media planning teams take care of; it’s what we do all day, every day. It all starts with a chat and a few ideas, and then we will formulate an effective media plan, which we will send over for you to consider. 

How We Plan Your Advertising - A Bespoke Media Plan

These are the steps we will follow after we receive your media planning enquiry:

  1. We pass it to the media planner we think suits you best – based on what you are looking for, where in the country you are, and what product or service you are looking to advertise, we will match you with the person we think can get you the results you want. 

  2. We talk to you - our friendly planner will call and find out more about you, your company, your aims and your ambitions. You can share what you have done before, any ideas you have likes and dislikes and also an outline of your target audience. 

  3. Create your costed campaign - if you know what you want, our media planning teams will come back with costs on those media options specifically. Otherwise, we will put together a list of suggestions based on your needs, budgets, target audience and what we think will work. 

  4. You look at the options - you review our media plan and the media options we have recommended; you review, make suggestions, and ask us questions until we arrive at a place where you are happy. We can go and backwards and forwards until we have created something you are 100% happy with.

  5. We book the media plan - once we have agreed on the plan, our media planning team will pass it to one of our media buyers, who will book the ads for you at the best prices.

  6. See your ad in action - whether your advert is in a newspaper, on a billboard, online, on TV, social media or on the radio - you can sit back and see marketing in actions!

  7. Enjoy the results!

What Makes Us Different From Other Media Planning Agencies?

Often other advertising agencies specialise in certain advertising sectors and media types but we can book any type of media you need, creating a perfectly balanced media plan incorporating a range of suitable options. We also believe that having one person overseeing the whole process is key as it allows them to make sure that all the strands of your advertising campaigns and the various elements are tied together. The options we will consider when planning your media campaign could include any of the below options: 

Considering all the options our media planning teams will put together a plan based on what you are promoting, marketing is not a one-size-fits-all proposition, so this will always vary depending on you. If you are unsure of what your spending should be, our experts will provide you with more advice, even coming up with different valued packages to demonstrate what different level of spends could get you. 

What Makes the Best Media Planning Teams?

A question often raised at marketing conferences, we believe that the following attributes make the best media planners in DT6 5 and media planning teams:

  • An ability to listen to a client’s ideas

  • Understand the business goals of the company

  • Identify the target audience

  • Suggesting proven methods that have worked before in that industry sector

  • Coming up with new ideas

  • Listening to what has, and hasn't worked before (if advertising has been carried out previously)

  • Secure the best rates

We aim to take the mystery out of marketing and make it simple. If a clear and cost-effective approach to advertising appeals to you, we are the agency for you. Read more in our blog about the benefits of hiring an advertising agency. 

Cost-Effective Media Planning

Cost-effective media planning is key to any successful promotional campaign because no matter how big or small you are, every company wants to spend their money wisely. Our planners naturally work closely with our media buying teams, who look after the final stage - the Right Price side of things. Some agencies only “work up” your marketing campaign or media plan, suggesting to you "what you should do" but without having the facility and contacts to book the recommended activity. As a full-service virtual agency, we do both media planning and buying. We essentially look after the whole process for you, giving you peace of mind, so you can get on with your day job.

If you as an individual or as a marketing department were to call these media suppliers directly, you would be charged a “rate card”, but our combined media buying and planning teams can get you superb placements and costs for everything on your media plan, as they negotiate and work with these people all the time. This gives us greater buying power and influence in negotiations.

Independent Advertising Consultants

As independent advertising consultants, we are able to offer a new perspective and pair of eyes with regards to all our media buying - judging your enquiry on a case by case basis and looking at your bespoke target audience. For example, if you were to contact an agent who specialises in outdoor advertising, they are only going to suggest outdoor ads to you, regardless of that being the most appropriate form of advertising in Filford for your company. Our independent media buying associates are therefore able to look at the bigger picture, often suggesting a combination of different fresh ideas and mediums that you may not have considered. We work with a range of industries including: 

Frequently Asked Questions About Media Planning in Filford

With this information a planner will then work up a creative and bespoke campaign, this will normally be with the aim of raising awareness or driving sales and a range of media platforms will be considered. This is then sent to the client to review, amend and tweak. Once both parties are happy with the media plan, it will be booked and the agreed dates for the agreed prices.

Why is media planning important?

It is vitally important for a new of reasons, mainly to make sure that the company, business or product who is advertising is selecting the correct media channels and executing this marketing at the right time.
