Paid Media FAQs
How do you measure media performance?
Measurement depends on the campaign objective and may include reach, frequency, impressions, traffic, search activity, leads, conversions and cost efficiency.
Should I use traditional or digital advertising?
Often the better question is what role each channel should play. Traditional media can build broad awareness and frequency, while digital channels can add targeting, intent capture and measurement.
What is a media post-buy analysis?
A post-buy compares what was purchased with what actually delivered and can identify discrepancies, under-delivery and opportunities for makegoods or added value.
Does Oswald manage both traditional and digital media?
