Media Planning & Buying for Multi-Channel Growth

Acting as your agency of record (AOR) with all media representatives, opportunities, and billing, we'll handle planning, execution, reporting, reconciliation, and billing with vendors on your behalf, confirming you’ve received accurate media and impressions. Longstanding and positive relationships with vendors nationwide support your media program’s success.

Our full-service media planning and buying team helps ambitious brands grow through data-backed strategy, traditional and digital channel selection, and flawless execution across TV, digital, out-of-home, audio, search, social, and more.

Benefits of a media agency:

Relationships and Strategy

Vision Media is a team of seasoned media buyers with a long history of building relationships with media partners. We know what works and how to optimize media strategies to make the most of your budget. We know how to integrate the media mix to amplify impressions, awareness, store traffic, and sales.

Buying and Negotiating Power

Buying millions of dollars of digital and traditional advertising across the U.S. allows us to negotiate rates and added value above what you can realize directly. Media often has hidden costs, and we know what market rate and CPM to pay for various mediums, getting the lowest rates and best value for you.

An Objective Perspective

We are agnostic about our media preferences. Media is recommended based on the audience, goal, market, and where we see success. Our expertise allows us to evaluate vendors and media options that save money and translate into better results than working with vendors directly.
