Paid Media
Media is delivered in units called audience impressions, otherwise known as views or “eyeballs.” Reach is the percent of total available audience impressions exposed to your message. Frequency is the number of times your message is seen or heard. The goal of any media campaign is to find the most effective ratio between Reach and Frequency to raise awareness and compel your prospects to take action.
A responsive ad unit is a digital ad on web or mobile that automatically adjusts its size, appearance and format to meet the available space on a page. These types of ads ensure greater impression delivery, create strong visual interest, and usually result in higher engagement with audiences.
The size of your media budget depends on a few factors:
- Target audience
- Geographic reach
- Competitor share of voice
- Campaign goals
Another important consideration is how well do your prospective customers know your brand? Are you starting from scratch or seeking to maintain (or grow) an already established level of familiarity? We’d love to chat with you about setting your campaign goals, determining media budgets and all other aspects of the media planning process!
General Marketing
At RMG, we always start by facilitating a strategic intake session with your organization’s stakeholders. During this Q&A we gather information about your marketing goals, competitive environment, past experiences with marketing or advertising and online presence. We use your input to build the foundation of our marketing recommendations.
A web conversion is an action step performed by your target audiences that shows interest and intent. It may be a contact form submission, a phone call or a white paper download. To drive qualified traffic to your website we’ll set up a conversion-focused media campaign combining media tactics proven to move customers and prospects along the awareness spectrum and towards the desired conversion action.
Marketing falls into two categories, “push” and “pull.” On the push side is outbound, which includes advertising, PR, events, and other methods that build consumer awareness and move audiences towards the top of (and hopefully into) the sales funnel. Inbound falls into the pull column. Here, marketers typically use content in the form of direct mail, email, blogging, organic social media, etc. to build a deeper relationship with prospects and pull them further towards conversion.
Native ads are paid ads that are designed to blend into the media format where they appear. They compliment the content that a user is viewing on their mobile device or desktop. To the audience, they may not look like ads at all!

We’d like to say we choose our clients but sometimes they choose us! Either way, we love working with organizations who share our company values and perspectives on the world around us.
