Media Buying in Cardiff
Planning and buying advertising across channels for Cardiff advertisers. The buying itself is the straightforward part — what determines whether a media budget works is the allocation between channels and whether anyone is measuring the effect rather than the activity.
Why this comes up
The problem
Budget is split across channels by habit and negotiated separately. Nobody can say whether the mix is right or whether one channel is doing the work the others claim credit for.
What you get
What we deliver
- Objectives and audience defined before any inventory is discussed
- Channel allocation based on evidence rather than last year's split
- Rates negotiated and terms checked, including make-goods and cancellation
- Frequency managed across channels, not just within each one
- Independent verification where the seller also reports on performance
- Post-campaign analysis honest enough to change next year's plan

Working in Cardiff
Wales
Cardiff has a significant broadcast and media sector alongside a large public-sector presence, and Welsh-language provision is a genuine requirement on public-facing work here rather than a nice-to-have.
Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option.

Media Buying in Cardiff — common questions
- How should budget be split between channels?
- By evidence where you have it and by testing where you do not. Splitting by last year's allocation preserves whatever mistakes were in it, and splitting evenly across channels usually means none gets enough to prove itself either way.
- Why does frequency need managing across channels?
- Because the same person can be reached on several platforms simultaneously, each capping frequency independently. The combined exposure is what the customer experiences, and it is routinely far higher than any single platform's report suggests.
- Should the seller report on performance?
- Their reporting is useful and not sufficient. Any party paid on the outcome they report has an obvious interest in that outcome looking good. Independent measurement is not an accusation — it is ordinary commercial prudence.
- What makes post-campaign analysis useful?
- Willingness to conclude that something did not work. Analysis finding that every channel performed adequately tells you nothing and changes nothing about next year's plan. The value is in identifying what to stop doing, which requires both the measurement to support it and the willingness to say so plainly.
- Do you work with businesses across Cardiff?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Cardiff and the surrounding Cardiff area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Cardiff businesses do you usually work with?
- Public sector and broadcast work is common, and bilingual provision is usually a requirement rather than an option. Beyond that we work across Media & Broadcasting, Financial Services, Public Sector, Higher Education and Sport.
- Do you cover the areas around Cardiff?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Bristol, Swansea. Cardiff is an urban area of roughly 490,000+, and we take on work across the wider Cardiff region rather than the city boundary alone.
