Spending money wisely
• Do you have a clear definition of your target audience?
• Have you developed a hierarchy of targeting importance,
based on your objectives and research learning?
• Have you used pre-testing to understand the likely
variations in creative response so that executions can be
placed accordingly?
• Are you comprehensively monitoring performance of your
targeting to understand cost effectiveness?
• Are you feeding learnings back into future planning and
buying decisions?
