What is Media Planning & Buying?

Media planning and buying is the process of identifying and purchasing ad space that’s relevant to your target audience and on the channels they actively use. The right strategy can empower brands and strengthen their customer relationships.

Effective planning and buying requires access to the latest research and analysis tools. As an established and long-running media buying agency, M&C Saatchi Performance works with businesses all over the world to connect brands to their customers.

We’ll work with you in planning purchases and buying media across channels based on your marketing objectives. We can deliver a bespoke media buying strategy and support you from planning right through to execution.

The benefits of a Media Buying & Planning Strategy

Better ad placements, more views

Media buying means you don’t have to rely on organic activity for your branded messages to gain traction online. This means you can execute an ad campaign safe in the knowledge that it’ll be effective.

Customisable
campaigns

With media planning and buying, you can set your limits on your ad purchases. This means you can optimise your campaign and get the right balance of building brand awareness and making conversions.

Diverse
ads

You can buy ad space on a variety of channels like social media, search engines and more. This allows you to experiment with different ad formats and learn from changes in user analytics.
