Course Summary

This GLOMACS training seminar on strategic media planning looks at the process required to deliver your organisation’s messages to the right target audience in an effective manner within your budget.

Over the past two decades the emergence of digital media has entirely changed the media landscape and has blurred the distinctions between marketing and PR/communications. Paid for media in the form of advertising is no longer the automatic norm. Media planning determines the best combination of media to achieve campaign goals. This course looks closely at the nature of the mix between paid-for, earned and owned media.

Successful media planning involves setting clear objectives and strategies to accomplish your business objectives. Media planning involves, market analysis, establishment of media objectives, media strategy development and implementation, and evaluation and follow-up.  A media plan should reflect significant research that produces a detailed rationale for all media activities. Information that should be included in a media plan is the objective, strategy, rationale, execution and summary.

This GLOMACS training seminar will highlight the following key topics:

  • Audience planning, targeting and segmentation
  • Research techniques for customer insight.
  • Audience measurement and media metrics
  • How to allocate a media budget across channels.
  • Analyse strengths of a range of media
  • Media strategy and strategic thinking.
