Key Media Planning Decisions
Target Audience and
Media Use
Match the advertiser’s target with
a particular medium’s audience.
The Aperture Concept
Aperture: when consumers are
most receptive to a brand
message.
The goal is to reach the right
people at the right time with the
right message.
Principle:
Advertising is most effective when it reaches the right people
at the right time and place with the right message.

The Core Concepts
• Reach: % of audience exposed at least
once.
• Frequency: # of times a person sees it, on
average.
• Effective reach: % of people who’ve seen
it 3+ times (or more).
• Frequency distribution: Exactly how
many see how often.

If the period is too short, the message may not have
sufficient impact
If the period is too long, the ads may suffer from wearout
Continuity: How often?
How advertising is spread out over the length of the
campaign
Continuous strategy spreads ads evenly over campaign
period
