Media

Channels and platforms through which communication reaches audiences: internet, print, television, radio, outdoor, podcasts, newsletters, and social media. In marketing, media also refers to the purchase and planning of ad placements.

Why it matters

This is the marketer’s playing field: choosing the right channels determines whether the message reaches the right people at a reasonable cost. Media is also an expense — often the largest item in a campaign budget.

What's missing without it

A great creative in the wrong media is a message sent nowhere — it reaches the wrong people, at the wrong time, and at too high a cost.

When it is used

In every campaign planning: selecting channels based on target audience, objective, and budget.

How we use it

The campaign module assigns creatives to channels: social media, display, print, radio, and TV.
