Frequently asked questions

What data does a media plan rely on?
Audience measurement for television, listenership surveys for radio, circulation and reader profiles for print, platform data for digital and the results of previous campaigns. The assumptions behind the plan are stated in the document.
How do fees work?
Depending on scope, a project fee, a monthly retainer or a commission on media spend applies. The model, and how media invoices are passed through, is agreed in writing before work begins.
How and how often do you report?
Airing is monitored throughout the campaign, and at the end a report compares planned with delivered. For ongoing work we provide a monthly report with recommendations for the next period.
