Media Negotiation
We have over 30 years of combined media buying knowledge; our buyers are tenacious negotiators, working exhaustively for the lowest rates possible. Our advertising agency media buyers are experts in all traditional formats — television, radio, print, outdoor, and various online media formats. MA leverages a wide array of online and offline research tools as well, to effectively forecast media costs and set aggressive buying goals with our clients’ budgets in mind.
Generating Added-Value
MA buyers are continuously searching for exciting promotional events and sponsorship opportunities. On radio, this could take the form of an endorsement by a popular radio personality or a remote broadcast from your company’s location. On television, it might take the form of a short sponsorship tag during the news broadcast. Often, these “value-added” opportunities are negotiated as part of the media buy itself and come at little or no additional cost to the client. In some cases, our buyers work with the media to design and customized event for a client that is specifically tailored to meet their unique business goals. Since many of these opportunities are offered at little or no cost, they serve to further stretch the overall impact of a campaign.
Auditing and Reconciling the Plan
We don’t consider our work done just because the media buy has been approved and placed. In fact, much of the work is done well after the media actually runs.
After the campaign runs, we reconcile the invoices to ensure our clients are getting the best positioning, location or rotation for their investment. We establish our guidelines early on with our reps; they know how serious we are about making sure our client is getting all the bang for their buck. Our advertising agency team never settles for “pretty good” or “decent” for our clients. We are lucky enough to work with some of the best reps in the business; they always go above and beyond for our clients.
Media Credit and Makegoods
Sometimes ads don’t run as planned. When this happens, Media Advantage is aggressive in negotiating bonus spots, and under delivery to make your advertising dollars go farther.
