HUb

HUb Strategy & Communication was born in 2002, a time when flip phones were all the rage and the idea of a “dot-com” company was just starting to be a thing. As these nascent brands raced to be first to market with a well-built brand, the agency world was woefully unprepared to help. Every agency was specialized—they focused on advertising or design or strategy or direct response or production or whatever.

What was obvious to us back then was that emerging brands didn’t need help with just one thing. They needed an agency that could do everything—like a marketing Swiss Army knife (but less pointy).

So that’s why we built HUb. To help these challengers build powerful, strategic, well-loved brands at speed. To make it happen, we blew up the traditional creative agency model. That meant building out a huge network of senior creative specialists across every discipline—basically our version of a dream team. In the office, our full-time staff of creative directors handpick the best talent for the job and then work with them to ensure strategic, visual and tonal consistency.

Since then we’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the most amazing, important companies on the planet—all with one thing in common: Each and every one of them possesses the mindset of a challenger.

Today we have a full-time staff of about 20 people. In addition to creative development, we have a serious strategy practice, we plan and buy media, and we’re a production company too—we write, direct and produce all of our video content. We do smart, strategically sound work that wins a lot of creative awards and, more importantly, sells a lot of stuff. Along the way, we never forget to have fun, and we tend to work with clients that like to do the same.

How can your business benefit from media planning services?

Planning of advertising campaigns, detailed scheduling of advertising publications, as well as a selection of the most effective advertising spaces, seem to be a simple task only at first glance.

Strategic media planning is, first of all, a marketing tool aimed to optimize advertising messages within a specific target group of consumers. The effectiveness of media planning depends on two indicators — the quality of advertising (concept and strategy) and delivery of messages to the right recipient (a potential target consumer).

Cooperation with a competent media planning agency can bring you lots of benefits. The main goal of media planning companies is to draw up a proper media plan implementing which your company can reap the benefits of a successful advertising campaign. Media planning companies pick up the most suitable media mix and define the right space and time for display in various media to use resources properly. In a nutshell, media planning agencies do their best to create compelling advertising messages, reach out to a broader audience, and avoid thriftless advertising. If it is not enough for you, let's consider reasons to hire a media planning agency in detail.

Optimal employment of resources

Effective advertising requires significant investments. With the help of a media planning agency, your business can adequately distribute and leverage its resources. A competent staff of a media planning agency selects the most appropriate media combination and time to help your business get advertising messages across a broad audience at a fraction of the cost.

Assistance in the achievement of the set goals

A media plan is an integral part of your company's general advertising plan. Top media planning agencies work out a media plan in compliance with your global advertising goals in order to help you achieve excellent results and take your business to the next level.

Proper media selection

Choosing proper media, professional media planning companies take into account the interests, expectations, and requirements of your target audience. For instance, if your target audience is millennials, social networks are the most suitable media. If your campaign is targeted at a certain professional group, corresponding specialist journals are deemed fit. Media planning agencies also make sure that the chosen media complies with the requirements of your advertising message.

Optimal media mix

A proper media mix is one more benefit of media planning. Sole media cannot provide effective communication with the whole target audience of your business. That is why media planning agencies leverage a combination of various media to provide extended coverage of your target audience.

Assistance in ad-budget allocation

Media planning companies also define the amount of money to be spent on various media. This information helps to allocate your ad-budget across different media spaces.

Proper advertising time

An advertising campaign provides excellent results, just if commercials are displayed at the right time. Media planning agencies also work on media scheduling. In other words, they define the most appropriate time for ad demonstration in the media. They make sure that commercials are displayed more often in the high season and less often in the low season. Besides, they arrange a display of your advertisement at the right time of day in order more people would be able to notice it.

Find answers to all your
questions

Media planning agencies specialize in strategizing, planning, and executing advertising campaigns across different media on behalf of clients.

Media planning agencies offer a plethora of services, including target audience analysis, media research, campaign design and planning, media buying and negotiation, ad placement, performance tracking, and reporting.

Media planning agencies use data analysis, market research, and audience profiling to identify media channels making it possible to reach a wider target audience. Demographics, psychographics, media consumption habits, and budgetary constraints are the factors they take into account to make informed decisions.

Technology plays a significant role in the work of media planning agencies. They use advanced software tools and platforms to carry out research, analyze data, track campaign performance, and optimize media buying. Technology also helps them stay updated with the latest trends and emerging media channels.

Media planning agencies leverage their rich expertise and in-depth knowledge to ensure effective ad placement. They consider a variety of factors including the behavior of a target audience, media consumption patterns, and the content environment to pick up the right time slots, publications, websites, or TV shows for placing ads.

Hiring a media planning agency offers several benefits. Such an agency brings profound knowledge and extensive experience in media planning to the table. Moreover, it has access to industry research and tools, can negotiate better media rates, and provide a holistic approach to advertising campaign management, All of these result in higher efficiency and better results.
