Frequently Asked Questions
What is cross-channel media planning?
Cross-channel media planning aligns budget, creative and timing across multiple platforms so audiences see coordinated messages wherever they spend time, increasing reach and reinforcing recall.
Why use a cross-channel strategy instead of one channel?
Relying on one channel misses audiences and limits frequency; a cross-channel approach balances cost, covers consumer touchpoints, improves attribution and protects performance when a single platform changes rules or prices.
What are the main steps in building a cross-channel media plan?
Key steps: define objectives, map audience journeys, choose complementary channels, set unified KPIs, allocate budget, schedule flights, launch creative versions, track results, then iterate.
Which channels and metrics should I track together?
Combine TV, CTV, digital video, social, display, search and audio; monitor reach, frequency, impressions, CPM, CPA, brand lift and cross-channel assisted conversions.
How often should cross-channel performance be reviewed?
Check in-flight pacing daily, compare channel blends weekly, and run full attribution or media-mix analyses at least each quarter for strategic adjustments.
How do I choose channels that work well together?
Match channels to audience behaviour and campaign goals: pair high-reach video with searchable formats for intent, or social with display retargeting to nurture consideration.
What pitfalls can skew cross-channel measurement?
Siloed tracking pixels, last-click bias and uneven attribution windows can miscredit channels; ensure consistent tagging and use multi-touch models to avoid over- or under-valuing support media.
Can you give an example of a cross-channel campaign?
A brand teaser on TV drives viewers to a hashtag, reinforced by social video and search ads, then retargets site visitors with display to close the sale.
What are the “5 Cs” of channel strategy?
The 5 Cs are Context, Customer, Content, Channel and Consistency—use them to evaluate whether each touchpoint fits the message, moment and audience journey.
