Media Planning Strategies & Challenges Consumers & Content: (Choices)3
Media Planning Strategies & Challenges “When airplanes were invented, trains didn’t go away. When TV was invented, radio didn’t go away. Various media work together and reach consumers at different times.” Charlie Brown NCH Vice President of Marketing
Media Planning Strategies & Challenges • Insight for you… and a thought to consider • Point of Sale holds the category back, but over time this will change • POS Tracking keeps media channel performance insight at surface level for most mature brands • As tracking improves, your ability to have “performance skin in the game” is going to be vital • Data commoditizes media pricing • “Don’t step over a dollar to protect a quarter of margin”
The Newspaper Role • You deliver two different targets – bundle them more effectively • Your TMC program should be sold with every in-paper media tactic • The category’s core is not your sweet spot – this is good for offer-specific messaging programs • They don’t want to trade-down core audience transactions/you deliver strong secondary targets • Price it like you want it – it is a procurement driven world due to the recession and it is not going to change Opportunities & Challenges (glass is half full)
The Newspaper Role • Two Targets: Offline and online selling process integration… getting better, keep focusing on it • Different agencies require different strategies • TMC Content: It is king, always look to improve it • Readership reverses commoditization and improves results (remember the “skin in the game” point) • Each brand has multiple targets – connect the dots deeper than “brand usage” • Core offering, health initiatives, kids programs, new product innovation • This might be one of the most important categories to have in your publication – remember the 3 R’s! • Readership = Response = Revenue Opportunities & Challenges (glass is half full)

Only Time Will Tell “This recession will be compared to the Great Depression and the impact it had on two generations.
