The trading of advertising space relies on one crucial premise – that there is a common ‘trading currency’ between all parties i.e., each party needs to know the number of people who have watched a TV programme, have visited a website, or read a newspaper, so that they can concentrate on agreeing the amount to be paid for that advertising space.
The key question is; where does the ‘trading currency’ come from? It comes from conducting industry-approved media research surveys that measure consumers’ media habits and make their findings available to all parties (advertisers, media owners, advertising agencies) for evaluation purposes.
Completing the Media Research Essentials Certificate will allow you to gain a range of skills, such as:
- how ratings and impressions are calculated and applied to media planning
- what is the right sample size when creating a media audience for it to be statistically valid
- how to interrogate media survey data using Boolean logic to uncover insights
- how to search for information online and useful desk research tricks
- how strategic planners use media research insights to create media campaigns
