Many marketing and business people wonder what the difference between a Media Buyer and Media Planner is.

Media buyers? Let’s break it down. We leave the creatives to the creative. Chances are you have enough cooks in the kitchen.

Thought we’d share something we’ve been working on. We just placed a spot market buy in the Seattle Market (Nielsen Media Market DMA Rank #14) for USA Reading Clinics.

Over the past couple weeks you’ve likely seen ( if you are between the ages of 18-25) our client’s television ads on cable television.

This television ad is coupled with an ad buy …
