3. media planningā¦
media selection has become increasingly complex
ā¦this activity is primarily tacticalā¦
according to Percy and Elliott there is a
ātrade-offā betweenā¦
reach
ā¦arguably this all has to be done within the budget

Yeshin, 2006, considers this in a slightly different way, as a
balance betweenā¦
ā¦there is never enough budget to maximise the two
ā¦in media planning we need to maximise advertising
effectiveness through careful balancing

7. key conceptsā¦ frequency
How many times a consumer within the target audience is expected to be
exposed to the message within a certain time period
Soā¦ how do we determine frequency?
Yeshin, 2006, states that āthere is no consensus as to the ācorrectā number of
exposures that an advertising campaign should seek to achieve
ā¦what the media planner strives towards is known asā¦
Effective frequency
De Pelsmaker, et.al., 2015
8. frequency and effectivenessā¦
There needs to be a balance between āwear-inā and āwear-outā
Wear-out results in negative responsesā¦ such as irritationā¦
High exposure is beneficial as it canā¦
Makes attitudes more accessible and increases confidence in that attitude
Leads to greater front of mind awareness
ā¦so minor tweaks to content can be beneficial to overcome this
Make the message more memorable and increase brand recall
Can be a signal for brand quality
Increases believability of claims

10. frequency
Yeshin cites research from Krugman (1972) who put forward that a
consumer only requires 3 exposures for the effect to be achieved
He also cites Philip Jones (1995) who argues that sales are
achieved from one exposure
It is important to note that frequency of exposure should vary by
ageā¦ increasing frequency as the audience gets older (Dubow, 1995)
11. frequency
Optimal, effective frequency is linked toā¦
The type of message used ā format, appeal, content
The level of competition
The advertising objective
The product category
The target audience
The media being used
13. reachā¦
another key concept to considerā¦
Total reach is the number or percentage of people who we can expect
to be exposed to the message during the scheduled time frame
However, it is more beneficial to consider useful reach
So, TV may have higher total reach but specialist press would have
more useful reach
It equates to how many consumers from the target audience are
likely to see the message
(adapted from De Pelsmaker et.a.l., 2015)
14. reach
We may also consider gross reachā¦ used when the campaign
utilises a media mix
Radio TV
A B
C
(A+B) + (B+C) = Gross Reach
(adapted from De Pelsmaker et.a.l., 2015)
A+B+C = Reach
15. Reachā¦
A more commonly used measure is opportunities to seeā¦ OTS
This is the average probability of exposure that the target audience has
This links to Gross Rating Pointsā¦ GRPās
You divide gross reach by reachā¦ simple!

18. GRPās
Also a score of 450 GRPā¦ could be a result of 18 exposures to 25% of
the audience or 9 exposures to 50% of the audience
Adapted from Yeshin, 2006
multiplied by the number of times shownā¦ frequency of exposure
But it doesnāt take into account ātargetā audiences so well
Reach x Frequency = GRP
Reach is expressed as a % of total audience exposed to the messageā¦
19. Other considerationsā¦
Brand history, brand share and brand loyalty
Usage cycle
Target audience education, learning and absorption
Marketing factors
Purchase cycle
Competitive share of voice
Yeshin, 2006
20. Other considerationsā¦
Complexity of message
New campaign or continuous
Variety and volume of messages
Creative factors
Message uniqueness
Image versus selling
Wearout of message
Yeshin, 2006
22. Contingency planningā¦
The marketing and media environment is dynamic
Variables that have been used in the development of the plan
may alterā¦
Change in economic conditions
Change in sales
Change in competition
Ideally the plan should be flexibleā¦ so that we can act in response to
changes
23. methods of media planningā¦
Traditional media planning
Channel planning
Integrated planning
Communications planning
Media neutral planning
24. Traditional planningā¦
Each channel has its own audience research methods
Concerned with the āolderā forms of mediaā¦ TV,
radio, cinema, newspaper, magazines, outdoor
Each channel has its own method of scheduling and buying
So media planning is conducted by channel in relation to
these factors and budget allocated accordingly
25. Channel planningā¦
Emerged in the 1980ās
ā¦primarily as a response to the growth and
fragmentation of media choice
Focused on consumer rather than mediaā¦
Adopts a holistic approach to ensure there are
multiple ātouchpointsā with the brand
ā¦but you really need to understand the behaviour of the target
audience
26. Integrated planningā¦
Emerged in the 1990ās
Focuses on the right content, for the right channels linked to a
consistent branded approach with no duplication
Being more effective with a limited budget
There is more of a long-term strategic focus here as opposed to a
short-term campaign
27. Communications planningā¦
Focus since the millennium
More focused on the conversation between
brands and consumers
Itās about consumer engagement with the brand via the most effective media
28. Media neutral planningā¦
Media-free focusā¦ a more open planning
approach
A relatively recent evolution in media planning
The ābig ideaā comes first and the media fit around itā¦ traditional
and non-traditional
At first the focus was more on digital media but actuallyā¦
ā¦it needs to be integrated
29. Integrationā¦
The IPA commissioned research into how campaigns use integrationā¦
No integrationā¦ either one channel focus or an uncontrolled merging
Participation-ledā¦ focuses on dialogue, experience and conversation
Advertising-ledā¦ integration via a common creative platform
Brand idea-ledā¦ unified by a shared brand concept and/or message
