Brand advertising is not made successful only with creative solutions and obsessive marketing. There are several intricate nuances of the entire process, those that your advertising agency or advertising partner should be able to understand and take you through. When it comes to establishing your own brand identity, your agency should first try and understand the target market or audience. There should be a clear idea of the target market, behavioral characteristics, buying habits, age, gender statistics, preferences, perception of your company name or previous brands and so on. This information comes in handy when it comes to planning campaigns and also when buying media for a particular product or brand.

Target market research has to be an ongoing affair with regard to finding out key demographics that help the agency select the right media channels for promoting a particular brand along with launching preference and demographic directed campaigns for best results. Market research is the sole route towards finding out about appropriate marketing vehicles for specific products and services to be promoted. Consumer behavior has to be understood on a much larger plane instead of simply thinking about budget, costs and mass marketing hype. Your agency should set clearly defined business objectives and look for specific targets while promoting your business on particular media platforms, be it direct sales, loyalty, awareness, education or any other motive.

A media buying and planning strategy has to be tailored for the success of your campaign. Your agency should give you a logical budget without going over the top or trying to be too stingy. There should be a balance when it comes to promoting your business or product without spending an unreasonable fortune on the same. Every media and promotion plan should contain certain key elements like a summary of the primary strategy in place, business objectives, targeted audience, targeted viewership or consumer statistics, timeline for achievement of objectives, desired media outlets and channels, expected return on investment, budgetary factors and channel based returns based on logical analysis and expectations.

This is something that an advertising agency and client should sit down and get a clear picture of, before proceeding.
