Media consumption
mix and
channel planning

Focusing on a quality-first approach, we don’t believe that a plan should be locked in with stale investments that no longer provide value for money. Media investments are first planned and should then be flexible enough to adapt and reinvest, based on knowledge that come to light once campaigns are in market. We adopt fully flexible approach to our media management. With an agnostic approach to all media channels, technology and providers, all planned budgets remain flexible across the duration of the campaign, ensuring that we are always in the moments that matter.

ADMATIC’s approach to channel selection continuously monitors each channel and platform to ensure we meet KPIs within allocated channel selections. We provide for pre-planning then continuous recommendations on budget allocations throughout campaigns, allowing us to identify and leverage opportunities as, and when, they arise.

Our commercial structure and business processes promote fluidity of investment between channels, designed to promote overall maximum quality of investments and a focus on outcomes. In real terms, this means that our cross-channel specialists will optimise plans without influences or constraint of lopsided commercial models or pre-specified media channels, that work against driving the best value for money.

Media buying

Our buying process negotiates on a brief-by-brief basis, whilst simultaneously leveraging our agency buying power collectively to drive the best rates for our clients. We continuously work with brands proposing initiatives that create value for money, working your dollars harder.

Working with your average media owner is not as simple as taking a call from a rep. Media Agencies add enormous value to the buying process. We’re able to represent your brand as our experience demonstrates in negotiating trading agreements with media owners all day every day, on behalf of our clients.

We review annual media spends on your behalf and negotiate the most favourable rates with all media owners applying maximum media value and inclusions. We can also provide inclusions on filler lists where we achieve added value into all media owner contracts and trading agreements for bonus airtime across TV and radio, and available space for outdoor and print. In short, there are many more ways that an agency drives maximum value for your investment dollar, as we act as an experienced agent on your behalf.

Digital media planning

When planning for digital media buying, we firstly use your website data known 1st party data. We support this data by using leading market research tools such as SimilarWeb, Nielsen Digital Ad Ratings, Roy Morgan, SEMRush and the IAB, amongst other tools, to research potential audiences. This allows us to build a digital framework that is audience centric and platform agnostic. Finally we deploy and utilise 3rd party adserve tracking and measurement tools as well as your Google Analytics platform, in order to continuously monitor audience and content engagement.

In partnering with ADMATIC you can be assured that we will paint the clearest cross-channel picture of your customers. We will help you understand their digital journey across the entire media spectrum across every known platform.
