Introduction

Media buying is about placing your brand’s message where it counts. We start by understanding your goals and audience, then craft a media plan that might include a mix of online ads and offline placements.

The key difference between digital and outdoor media? Digital ads (like those on websites or social media) let you target specific demographics and track clicks in real-time, while outdoor ads (like billboards and posters) offer massive visibility and constant presence in public spaces. Both are powerful in their own ways, and at Digital Tailor Agency we excel at combining them for maximum impact. With media consumption habits rapidly evolving (more people on smartphones, yet thousands still noticing billboards on their daily commute), we use innovative strategies to make sure your marketing budget works smarter, not harder.

Our team brings deep regional expertise – we know the Kenyan and African media landscapes inside out. That means we understand local consumer behaviors, cultural nuances, and even the logistics of ad placements in various countries. When you partner with us for media buying, you’re not just getting ad placements; you’re getting a dedicated local ally who optimizes every shilling or dollar for the greatest ROI. Let’s introduce how we do it and why companies around the world trust us to run campaigns in East Africa and beyond.

Why Choose Us

Local Market Insight:
We have feet on the ground in Kenya and across Africa. Our experts understand local culture, languages, and media consumption patterns. This ensures your campaign resonates with audiences from Nairobi to Lagos, rather than feeling “imported” or out of touch. We place your ads where locals actually pay attention – be it a popular radio show in Kenya or the busiest highway in East Africa.
Strategic Mix of Channels:
Digital Tailor Agency isn’t tied to one type of media. We analyze your goals and recommend the optimal blend of digital and outdoor (and other traditional channels when needed). By balancing online targeting with offline visibility, we make sure your brand stays visible everywhere your audience goes. For example, a campaign might combine Facebook ads with highway billboards, reinforcing your message both on-screen and on the street.
Strong Media Partnerships:
Over the years, we’ve built relationships with key media owners and platforms in the region. We’re on a first-name basis with billboard providers, radio and TV stations, and popular websites. These partnerships mean better rates, prime locations, and priority service for your ads. You get access to premium ad slots that might be hard to secure without a local partner.
Cost-Effective Planning:
Max ROI, Min Spend isn’t just a slogan for us – it’s how we operate. Our media plans are driven by data and experience. We allocate your budget to the channels and placements that will deliver the highest impact for every dollar. By targeting the right audience and negotiating great deals, we reduce waste and increase your campaign’s efficiency.
End-to-End Service:
Media buying can be complex and time-consuming – but we’ve got you covered from start to finish. Our team handles everything: research, planning, negotiation with media vendors, booking slots, coordinating ad material delivery, and monitoring campaign performance. You get to save time and avoid headaches, knowing experts are executing your campaign flawlessly.
Transparency & Reporting:
We believe in clear, honest communication. Throughout your campaign, we provide updates and reports that show where your ads ran, who saw them, and how they performed. For digital channels, you’ll see metrics like impressions, clicks, and conversions. For outdoor, we share insights like estimated reach or foot traffic in those locations. No smoke and mirrors – just real results you can see and trust.

What We Offer

Our media buying services span all major advertising channels – we tailor the mix to what your campaign needs. Here are some of the placement types and channels we can orchestrate for you:
Digital Advertising:
Targeted online ads on platforms such as Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and popular websites. We handle search ads (so your business appears at the top of relevant Google searches), social media ads (to engage users scrolling their feeds), banner ads on high-traffic websites, and even mobile app ads. If your audience is spending time online, we know how to reach them on their screens.
Outdoor Advertising (Out-of-Home):
High-impact ads in the physical world. This includes billboards along busy roads, large banners on buildings, digital LED screens in shopping malls or city centers, and transit ads on buses or taxis. Outdoor advertising is huge in Africa – for example, big bold billboards in Nairobi or Kampala can’t be missed by thousands of daily commuters. We’ll get your brand front and center in the real world, ensuring everyone from pedestrians to drivers sees your message.
Radio & TV Spots:
Want to be heard on popular radio stations or seen on TV channels in the region? We’ve got you covered. We buy airtime for radio advertisements (great for reaching commuters and local communities) and television commercials on major stations. From a 30-second radio jingle during morning rush hour to a prime-time TV ad slot, we make sure your story reaches listeners and viewers in an engaging way.
Additional Channels:
We’re flexible and comprehensive. Need ads in print newspapers or magazines? We can arrange that too with strategic ad placements in well-read publications. Interested in cinema advertising or sponsorships at events? We’ll coordinate those opportunities as well. Our goal is to use the right mix of channels that will best achieve your objectives. When you work with Digital Tailor Agency, no channel is off-limits – if it’s where your audience is, we’ll help you be there.
(By providing a wide range of options, we ensure that your campaign isn’t limited. You might start with a focus on digital or outdoor, but you can always expand into other media through us, creating a truly integrated marketing campaign.)

How It Works

We believe in a clear, step-by-step approach to media buying. Here’s how we work with you to take your campaign from idea to reality:
1. Consultation & Discovery:
We begin by listening. Tell us about your business, campaign goals, target audience, and budget. Are you launching a new product in Kenya? Trying to build brand awareness across East Africa? Once we know your objectives, our team conducts market research and audience analysis to inform our strategy.
2. Strategic Media Planning:
Based on your goals, we craft a media plan that outlines the best channels and placements to reach your audience. This is where we decide the mix of digital vs. outdoor (and other media) for your campaign. For example, if you need precise targeting, we’ll emphasize digital platforms; if you need broad mass awareness, we’ll recommend impactful billboards or radio/TV spots. We always base these recommendations on data, experience, and what will deliver the best results for you.
3. Negotiation & Booking:
Once you approve the plan, our media buyers spring into action. We contact publishers, stations, and outdoor vendors to secure the ad spaces and times we need. Because of our local ties, we’re able to negotiate competitive rates and prime slots on your behalf. You don’t have to worry about a thing – contracts, schedules, and logistics are all handled by us. (For instance, we might book a month on a landmark Nairobi billboard, a set of Google Ads, and a 60-second radio slot during the top morning show, all timed to launch together.)
4.Creative Coordination:
Already have ad creatives (like banners, videos, or billboard designs)? Great – we’ll ensure they meet the specs for each outlet. Need help adapting or creating ads? Our creative partners can produce eye-catching, culturally relevant content suited for each channel. We make sure your messaging stays consistent yet optimized – the billboard will have bold, short messaging, while the Facebook ad can have engaging copy and a clear call-to-action. Every ad will be designed to grab attention and fit the medium.
5. Launch & Monitoring:
With everything booked and creatives ready, we launch your campaign! Digital ads go live on the scheduled date, and outdoor ads are installed on site. Our work doesn’t stop at launch – we closely monitor the campaign’s performance. For digital, we track metrics like views, clicks, and conversion rates in real time, adjusting settings if needed to improve performance. For outdoor, we keep an eye on the placement quality – for example, verifying the billboard is up and looking good, or that your posters are being displayed correctly throughout the campaign period.
6. Optimization & Ongoing Adjustments:
One big advantage of our approach is agility. If we see a digital ad creative is doing exceptionally well, we might increase its budget. If another isn’t performing, we tweak the content or targeting. We can also rotate new creatives in to combat ad fatigue. Our goal is to squeeze as much ROI as possible from your budget, so we continuously refine the campaign while it’s running (especially on digital platforms where changes can be made instantly). Outdoor campaigns are less flexible once up, but we plan them smartly from the start and can suggest mid-campaign tweaks like extending a duration or adding a new site if needed.
7. Reporting & Wrap-Up:
After (and even during) the campaign, we deliver transparent reports. You’ll see exactly what was achieved – for example, how many impressions your online ads got, how many clicks they received, and any conversion data. For outdoor, we provide evidence of posting (photos of your ads in location) and estimates of how many people likely saw them (based on traffic data). We’ll also gather any insights (like spike in store visits during a billboard campaign, if such data is available). Finally, we’ll discuss the results with you in plain language, and suggest next steps. Maybe the data shows your message really resonated in one city – next time, we might double down there. Our aim is constant improvement, so each campaign is better than the last.
Throughout this process, we maintain a professional yet friendly communication. You’ll always know what’s happening with your ads, and you can reach out with questions any time. We take pride in working collaboratively with our clients – essentially, when you win, we win too.
