2021 Media Planning: Tips and Trends

Much like Christmas decorations arriving in August at your local Marshall’s Home Goods, we like to annoy our clients and start piping up about annual media planning well before the new year starts. While it might seem obnoxious—I mean, even I get annoyed when I hear Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” on October 1—there are some serious advantages to planning your media buys early.

Our media clients benefit from the advantages of planning ahead while maintaining flexibility. If that sounds like something your business could use help with, let us know.
