The components of a media plan
A readable media plan answers simple but decisive questions:
- The target: who you want to reach (profile, area, behaviours).
- The channels: search, social media, online advertising, local press, word of mouth.
- The message: the clear promise that makes people want to choose you.
- The budget: how much you invest, split between channels and over time.
- Measurement: the indicators (traffic, leads, sales) to adjust what works.
A modest but measured plan is better than a large, scattered one impossible to steer.
