Course Description:
This training session was developed to provide ad operations professionals from publishers, ad networks and other companies with insight into the agency planning process from the development of the RFP to the final site selection and ultimately the media plan.
We will begin with an overview of the agency?s role, responsibilities, internal process and the translation of a client?s marketing objectives into a media strategy. We?ll review the planning tools used, the influence of relationships, the RFP generation, terminology used, and most importantly what it takes for your team?s proposal to make the media plan.
This course emphasizes best practices and tips on how to deliver winning proposals by understanding how agency planners think and what they are looking for. Learn how to read and fully understand RFPs, know what to look for, questions to ask, what is required of you as a media partner and how to present new out of the box ideas.
While every agency operates differently all speak the same language and have the same goal, which is to put together a winning plan for their client. This course will show you how to be part of that success.
Who Should Attend?:
This course will be beneficial to ad operations staff, specifically individuals who work with sales teams and function as internal planning teams for their company.

In 2000, Michelle left 24/7 Real Media to join Mass Transit Interactive; an elite digital marketing firm focused on strategic planning, media buying, search and affiliate marketing, as well as CRM.

In 2005, Mass Transit was sold to Horizon Media, the largest independently-held media buying agency in the country. At Horizon Interactive, Michelle?s position morphed into Director of Operations, Training and Development. In this role, she developed team leadership, digital marketing training programs and consulted the company on how to effectively integrate digital media into the traditional agency business.
