FAQs

What is media buying in advertising?
The process of buying advertising space and time on online and offline platforms like websites, YouTube, radio, and television is known as media buying. In addition, a media buyer is in charge of managing budgets, negotiating with publishers for ad inventory, and optimising advertising for better campaign results.

How does media buying differ from media planning?
Although they belong to the same category, media planning and buying are two distinct activities. Media planning concentrates on the campaign’s strategy, as opposed to media buying, which focuses on obtaining the most impressions from the right audience at the lowest cost.
Which medium will be best to reach a specific audience is decided during the planning stage. Therefore, media buying happens after media planning is finished. It’s also crucial to remember that media planning applies to all forms of media a brand uses, not just advertising.

How does digital media buying work?
Purchasing impressions is automated when using programmatic or digital media buying. Although technically the negotiation still takes place, it now happens much more quickly thanks to open and closed markets.
This automated buying structure is made up of three parts:
• Ad agencies and advertisers set up their campaigns on demand-side platforms (DSPs), where they may also bid on ad inventory and execute performance-based ad optimization.
• Platforms allowing publishers to sell their ad inventory, or supply-side platforms (SSP). It is the DSP publisher version.
• Real-time bidding is used in the ad exchange marketplace where buyers and sellers of ad inventory can transact (RTB).
