The first step in our process is to determine the goals for the media campaign. Second, we determine the target audiences based on both age demographics and life style. Third, we perform primary and secondary research including but not limited to:

• Size and share of voice of the competition in the market.

• Competition’s estimated media spend. • Current general awareness in the proposed

markets. • Reasons that prospective users did not choose

product or service• Preliminary media costs and recommended

budget allocations. Once the data is compiled, we draft a media plan that follows your time line.
