MEDIA BUYING APPROACH
Acting as your agency of record (AOR) with all media representatives, opportunities, and billing, we'll handle planning, execution, reporting, reconciliation, and billing with vendors on your behalf, confirming you’ve received accurate media and impressions. Longstanding and positive relationships with vendors nationwide support your media program’s success.
Benefits of a media agency:
Relationships and Strategy
Vision Media is a team of seasoned media buyers. We know what works and how to optimize media strategies to make the most of your budget. Vendor relationships give us access to new placements, executions, and targeting as they become available. We know how to integrate the media mix to amplify impressions, awareness, store traffic, and sales.
Buying and Negotiating Power
Buying millions of dollars of digital and traditional advertising across the U.S. allows us to negotiate rates and added value above what you can realize directly. Media often has hidden costs, and we know what market rate and CPM to pay for various mediums, getting the lowest rates and best value for you.
An Objective Perspective
We are agnostic in our media preferences. Media is recommended based on the audience, goal, market, and where we see success. Our expertise allows us to evaluate vendors and media options that save money and translate into better results than working with vendors directly.
4-Point O's Media Approach
