audience of 69,048 people. As the campaign is focused on Sydney and Melbourne, the audience being
targeted is 45% in Sydney, 31,070, and 30 % in Melbourne, 20,715
For the campaign objectives stipulated by Optus Business Marketing to be reached, it is critical for the senior

Media Objectives
The Media Plan is designed to reach 80% of the target audience with a frequency of three or more times
during the campaign period. Utilising the selected media the campaign flight pattern is continuous with bursts
of activity at key points during the campaign; familiarising the target with the campaign message and inspiring
a call to action as key milestones during the campaign schedule approach.
Varying the media utilised and shaping the communication around the target’s media and lifestyle habits,
acting on the target’s mercantile instincts and interest in finding out more, reducing wastage and acting to
ensure the target is exposed to the campaign message many times over the campaign period is best achieved
through the media selected, avoiding heavily pushing the campaign message through media channels not
readily conducive to the ethos and creative of the campaign content, which may negatively impact the target’s
