Build a Smarter Advertising Plan

An effective marketing strategy is not about appearing on every available platform. It is about selecting the channels that best fit your audience, business goals, buying timeline and budget.

The 535 Media Strategy Builder provides a customized starting point for your advertising plan. It evaluates the information you provide and recommends how different channels can work together throughout the customer journey. This may include building awareness through Connected TV or digital video, capturing active demand through paid search, reaching specific audiences through programmatic display and reconnecting with interested visitors through retargeting.

Your completed strategy includes a suggested media mix, budget distribution, targeting recommendations, creative ideas and priorities for the next 90 days. Use it to organize your thinking, compare potential advertising channels or prepare for a more detailed media-planning conversation.
