Deep dives
The Evolution of Media Planning
Traditional media planning has seen a significant decline, largely due to changes in how marketing budgets are allocated. Modern platforms now dictate spending priorities, making it evident that marketers often prioritize performance over the medium itself. The lack of transparency from these platforms complicates the role of traditional media planners, who may feel sidelined in the decision-making process. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, it is suggested that the need for traditional planning may diminish even further, focusing primarily on performance-driven metrics.
