Expert media planning from advertising practitioners
For over 20 years we’ve been advising clients on where to invest their media spend. We’ll work with you to understand how best to achieve your goals through an integrated advertising strategy.
Understand your market
Before deciding on when and where to invest, you need to understand the broader market. This involves going deeper into your audience and their media consumption habits, assessing demand growth across markets, platforms and channels, and presenting a clear view of your performance benchmarked against your competitors.
Centralise your strategy
While each channel and ad network will require a slightly different approach, advertising campaigns work best when they are based on a central strategy and media plan. Without this, there is a risk of disconnected campaigns, potential cannibalisation of budget and suboptimal performance. Our media planning services ensure that you’re all singing from the same hymn sheet.
We’ll help you craft an effective media strategy
Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat. Many brands approach us with inconsistencies across their campaigns due to the lack of an integrated strategy. As Europe’s Best Large Integrated Agency (2022), we’re here to help bring your plans together to drive improved effectiveness across the board.
Understand where to invest, and where to avoid.
With the proliferation of ad networks and emerging technology, it can be tempting to pour budget into a variety of networks to assess what works for your business. While testing is important, it’s essential that you carry out research to understand where your audience spend their time online, and which networks you can utilise to capture their attention. Without a clear strategy in place you risk investing budget in the wrong places and losing out on potential leads or sales had it been spent in different ways.
We’re more than a PPC agency.
Working with Hallam means exposure to all areas of digital, whether that’s advertising, brand or website design.

Frequently asked questions
What is media planning?
Media planning is the process of identifying and selecting the most appropriate media channels to deliver advertising messages to a target audience. It involves analysing market research, setting advertising objectives, developing a media strategy and then selecting and buying ad space or airtime.
How do you determine the target audience for a media plan?
Determining the target audience for a media plan involves analysing market research to identify key characteristics of the target audience, such as age, gender, income, education level, occupation and lifestyle, as well as their media habits and purchasing patterns. Once the target audience is identified, the media plan can be developed to effectively reach and engage that audience through the appropriate media channels.
How do you decide which media channels to use for advertising?
Advertising objectives will play a role in determining the media channels. For example, if the objective is to reach a specific niche audience, then a targeted digital or print campaign would be more appropriate.
We also consider the cost of each media channel, the campaign timing and budget to make the decision. After evaluating all of these factors, we’ll develop a media strategy that outlines which media channels will be used, the frequency and timing of the advertising and the budget allocated for each channel.
Overall, the choice of media channels should be based on the target audience’s media habits, budget and the advertising objectives. Media channels that are most likely to reach the target audience efficiently and effectively should be prioritised.
