FAQ

What is media buying?
Media buying is the process of purchasing advertising space across channels like TV, streaming, social media, and search to reach your audience at the right moment. It involves negotiating rates, selecting placements, and timing campaigns for maximum impact. Effective media buying balances reach, frequency, and cost.
What does a media agency do?
A media agency plans and buys advertising placements on your behalf, deciding where, when, and how often ads should run. That includes audience research, negotiating with media outlets and platforms, and tracking performance once campaigns go live. Many media agencies also manage budget allocation across multiple channels at once.
What's the difference between paid, earned, and owned media?
Paid media is advertising you buy, like a TV spot or sponsored post. Earned media is coverage you get without paying, like a news story or social share. Owned media is what you control directly, like your website or email list. The strongest media strategies use all three together.
How much does media buying cost?
Media buying costs depend on the channels chosen, the size of the audience being targeted, and how competitive that ad space is. National broadcast and digital placements cost more than targeted local buys. Most agencies also charge a management fee on top of the actual media spend, which is worth asking about upfront.
