Media Planning & Buying

Advertising is designed to persuade and motivate the target audience to take action.
Media planning & Buying has a long history. Modern advertising uses various formats and channels to communicate with the target audience, getting people to know more about your services and products, and ultimately, purchase from you. Advertising has a significant impact on raising a brand's awareness and introducing new products and services. A good media strategy can help you stand out from the crowd, retaining your existing customers while driving sales from new customers. It is particularly important to advertise wisely while entering a new market.
Planning media activities is not just about creating ad content, it is a process that involves ad placement, media selection, budget management, ad frequency, and performance optimization. With the development of media channels and devices, it becomes critical to have a complete media planning & buying strategy to cut through the noise, both online and offline.
While there are many different advertising channels, from outdoor advertising to digital marketing, we have to bear in mind that not all “advertising” needs to pay. It is particularly true when it comes to search engine optimization (SEO) – how you organize and include web content that is most relevant to your site and improves the site’s visibility on search engines.

Offline advertising is still a powerful advertising format even after digital advertising has hit the scene.

TV maintains its position as a necessary media and home appliance for a large group of people, especially for families. In the past 5 years, although people are spending more time on online video platforms like Netflix or on social media, the average daily time every British spent on watching TV was reduced by 30 mins only. Promoting on Shopping TV or Direct Response TV is still an effective way to enhance your brand’s awareness and educate the audience on your product features and benefits.
