Theory of the evolution of the media plan, or the development of the target audience
Darwin's main driving force behind evolution is natural selection. This principle applies to the advertising campaign, for the preparation and launch of which, expert selection of placements is applied to effectively solve the problems of advertisers ( media planning ). Natural selection develops after the launch of the advertising campaign and the subsequent analysis of the return on investment.
Advertisers have different tasks (to receive 500 orders, to launch a new brand on the market, etc.), they are all solved by delivering an advertising message to the target audience. In contextual advertising, the role of communicator between the advertiser and the target audience is played by contextual advertising systems. If you follow the direction of reaching the target audience, then the advertising campaign will have two development vectors: platforms and type of traffic. In the above diagram of the evolution of the media plan, the recommended procedure for connecting platforms (development in breadth) and traffic (development in depth) is fixed. The recommendations take into account: the distribution of search traffic, site tips, the ratio of the target audience on the sites, as well as the author’s many years of practical experience.
