What is a "media buyer and planner"? PDF Print E-mail

This is a frequently asked question. It's pretty self expiatory.

In the advertising industry "media buyers and planners" are also known as communication planners, brand planners or strategists.

A media buyer and planner purchases advertising space from various media platforms and assists their client in achieving business objectives through their advertising budgets by recommending the best possible use of various media platforms available to be used in an advertising campaign. 

Media buyers and planners specialize in analyzing target audiences by reading market trends and understanding the motivations of consumers (often including psychology and neuroscience).  After the assessments are completed recommendations are made to the client as to the appropriate medium or combination of media that will best reach the target audience, while also evaluating the media in terms of cost and meeting media objectives.
