Armani Strategic Media Planning Process

Planning when, where, and how the message will be delivered is a complex and involved process that is constantly evolving. The primary objective of the media plan is to develop a framework that will deliver the message to the target audience in the most efficient, cost-effective manner possible—that will communicate what the product, brand, and/or service can do.

Media planning is the series of decisions involved in delivering the promotional message to the prospective purchasers and/or users of the product or brand. Media planning is a process, which means a number of decisions are made, each of which may be altered or abandoned as the plan develops. The media plan is the guide for media selection. It requires development of specific media objectives  and specific media strategies (plans of action) designed to attain these objectives. Once the decisions have been made and the objectives and strategies formulated, this information is organized into the media plan.

Media buying is a complicated process almost for all companies, but Armani makes it as a simple task for you. The American Association of Advertising Agencies lists no fewer than 21 elements of a media buy for traditional media. The most important one, however, is matching the media vehicle to the strategic needs of the message and the brand. In addition to media selection, however, media negotiation makes the media plan come to life in a cost-effective way. In this step, Armani answers the following questions:

• Which media mix will have the maximum reach?
• Which media mix will have the minimum CPT?
• Which media mix will have the maximum GRP?
• Which media mix will reach a client to its target audiences according to their daily activities? Their social class? Their age and gender?
• Which media mix is suitable for a client artwork?

In this step, Armani’s traffic tracking process will help us to find out the high traffic and strategic locations with the best EOI (Eyes on Impression) in order to give our clients precise information about media solutions we are going to suggest in Iran.

In this step, Armani will determine that which media mix you need to communicate with your target audiences. And once you get there, Armani decides when and how often that message needs to be shown. As we know our clients have a limited budget, it is important to offer the media schedule that be most effective.

An important part of timing advertising is scheduling it so that it appears at the most propitious selling times. A major objective of scheduling is to control when advertising appears by plotting advertising timing on a yearly flowchart. There are three major methods of scheduling advertising, each with a somewhat different pattern: continuity, flighting, and pulsing.

Continuity

As its name suggests, the continuity pattern (sometimes called straight-through advertising) is continuous, sometimes with short gaps at regular intervals when no advertising is done. Continuity is necessary when an advertiser has a message that it does not want consumers to forget. Continuous advertising works as a reminder, keeping the message always before the consumer.

Flighting

The second method, flighting (sometimes called bursting) , employs a less regular schedule, with intermittent periods of advertising and non-advertising. At some time periods there are heavier promotional expenditures, and at others there may be no advertising

Pulsing

Is actually a combination of the first two methods. In a pulsing strategy, continuity is maintained, but at certain times promotional efforts are stepped up.

Rotatory Strategy

To Reach more people and refresh your audience by periodically moving your advertisement. With our Rotatory Strategy, we move your advertisement from one Billboard or Bridgeboard location to another at stated intervals (usually every 45 to 60 days) within a particular market. By this means, you can be seen by more people during your campaign in different locations after you reach into your effective frequency at your previous locations.

In other words, A Rotary Strategy will give you a geographic and demographic advantage: you’ll cover more routs and reach more people.   The scheduling strategy depends on the objectives, buying cycles, and budget, among other factors.

Here is the sample of our media schedule suggested following a client time-line and budget per media.
