Media strategy and communication planning

Media strategy is an in-depth planning service for a brand’s presence across communication channels, based on analysis of its target audience, competitors and revenue sources. It is designed for companies seeking to optimise advertising expenditure, reposition a brand or successfully launch a new product (New Product Development). Media People’s complete independence from advertising networks means our clients receive a fully objective media mix and a long-term marketing plan aligned with their business KPIs. The process is supported by our proprietary frameworks, MPreach, MPselect and MPtactics. Our market position is reflected in leading results in 12 of the 21 categories of the client satisfaction survey conducted by Kantar for MiMP, and in our membership of the international weCAN and Local Planet networks.

Planning a marketing strategy based on data and analytics

Introduction

In a fragmented media landscape saturated with advertising, choosing channels at random can quickly waste your budget. An effective campaign starts with understanding your consumers, their needs and the digital and offline environments they use. At Media People, we see the choice of media as a consequence of that understanding. We design media strategies that combine technology and algorithms with our experts’ experience and judgement, using a human-in-the-loop approach. Our strategists receive data from dozens of specialist research and analytical tools, interpret it using their knowledge and experience, and retain full control over the final recommendations. As an independent media agency, we develop objective communication plans and select the channels that support your brand’s growth, without constraints imposed by global network agreements.

We design media strategies where technology and algorithms are supported by expert experience, while the media mix remains fully objective.

FAQ

What is the difference between a media strategy and media planning?

Media strategy answers who we are talking to, what we want to say and why. Media planning is the tactical stage that determines where, when and at what cost the message will appear.

Does the strategy cover only digital activities?

No. We design integrated campaigns covering the entire media ecosystem: digital, social media, SEM, SEO, TV, OOH, press, radio, and cinema.

Why does the independence of a media agency matter in strategy?

Thanks to 100% independence, our recommendations are completely objective. We select only those media outlets that achieve business goals, rather than those resulting from global agreements with publishers.

What data is needed to create a strategy?

We start our work with a brief. We use 1st party sales data as well as research and analytical tools, including TGI, Kantar Media, Nielsen, Brand24, Sotrender, SentiOne, as well as MPreach, MPselect, and MPtactics.

When is it worth ordering a brand audit or strategy?

Before a product launch, when current campaigns lose effectiveness, or when you are preparing to enter a new market or category.
