Why to Use a Marketing Agency Instead of Buying Direct

by | Oct 20, 2022 | marketing

  • Working with a marketing agency is beneficial for your business rather than doing a DIY marketing strategy.
  • Boiling Point Media’s Process includes media buying software, transparent reporting, monitoring, audit/post reporting, and media buying/creative.
  • Boiling Point Media is a full service marketing agency that specializes in SEO, content creation, graphic design, PPC, and more.

A common question when it comes to promoting your business is, “do I need to hire a marketing agency or can I deal with media vendors directly?” That would mean hiring a search engine optimizer, a web designer, radio station, etc. Basically a big hassle. Marketing, like every other field of business, is always advancing, making it necessary to stay up to date on all things marketing or risk your business drowning in the chaos. If you’re new to the world of advertising, it can be a bit overwhelming at first. One thing’s for sure, though: Going through a marketing agency is worth it in the long run for multiple reasons. Keep reading to find out how Boiling Point Media stands apart from the traditional marketing agency. 

Boiling Point Media’s 5 Step Media Buying Process

Anyone can hire an in-house marketing department, purchase what the media outlets say is “the best fit for you”, and trust that your dollars spent are reaching who it should. Using an advertising agency gives you access to marketing talent, tested and trusted strategies, and access to advanced technology. But going through a marketing agency is only effective if you’re all on the same page. Here at Boiling Point Media, our customer’s goals are our top priority. That’s why we’ve created this blog briefly explaining our media buying process so that you can have peace of mind that we’ll get it done right the first time. 

1. Media Buying Software/Rating books

Every media outlet claims they are number one, with our purchased media software we are able to enter each media outlet and compare rates/ratings, by doing this we are able to see what media outlet fits the needs of the client by reaching their future customer. Best part is, this cost is not passed on to the client!

2. Transparent Reporting

Once we determine the best fit for placement, we then send off media buys for approval. We work hand in hand with the client, not only just looking at ratings and placement but we also get feedback from the client. Nothing is placed without approval from the client thanks to our 100% transparent monthly reporting. After all, we work for you.

3. Monitoring

At Boiling Point Media, we pay special attention to all the  tasks that people often overlook. Once the media buy is placed, we traffic the spots, monitor the schedule daily, and approve the best possible make goods for missed spots. We have experience in tracking and monitoring our projects to ensure we are doing everything we can to help our clients reach their goals. Monitoring the buy throughout is just as important as the initial purchase. 

4. Audit/Post Reporting 

Once the station invoice is received, we perform an audit of what was ordered and what was invoiced. We look for any spots that aired out of time purchased, length of separation between spots, then we match the order to invoice, and finally, we pull post reports to ensure rating points ordered match what aired. If any of these do not meet our requirements, then these missed spots/rating points come back to the client and are placed specifically where the client needs. 

5. Media buying and creative 

Our agency was built on our strong capabilities of placing media and our top-of-the-line creative that stands out above the rest. Our media buying is built off a heavy reach and frequency platform, in order to ensure it stands out, you must have great creativity to catch the attention of your future customer.
