Media buying
Media buying across Australia & NZ
We plan, negotiate and place your media across TV and BVOD, radio and podcasts, audio streaming, outdoor, cinema, digital, retail media and print. Our senior team runs every booking and reports on every placement. You’ll always know what we bought, what it cost and how it performed.
Media buying is the work of securing advertising space and time for a brand. A media buyer decides which channels and placements will reach the right audience, negotiates the price with media owners, books the space and checks that every ad ran as agreed. Good buying gets you more of the right audience for the same budget. At MediaBoost, the same senior people plan and buy your campaign, so nothing is lost between the plan and the booking.

Channels
Channels we buy
We buy across every major channel and combine them in one plan.
Audio streaming
Our lead offer: streaming radio ads in the postcodes you choose, so you control where your budget goes. No minimum spend, on its own or alongside broadcast radio.
Television and BVOD
Free-to-air TV for broad reach and fast awareness, planned against OzTAM audience data. BVOD (TV streamed on demand) is bought through our partners.
Radio and podcasts
Radio is where our senior team built its career, in sales and leadership roles inside commercial radio. We buy metro and regional radio with a clear view of what each station delivers. Podcast advertising is bought through our partners.
Outdoor
Billboards, street furniture and transit, planned with MOVE audience data so you know who passes each site.
Cinema
Cinema advertising for an attentive audience in a premium setting.
Digital
Display and online video advertising across the sites and platforms your audience uses.
Retail media
Ads on retailer websites and in-store screens, reaching shoppers close to the point of purchase. Bought through our partners.

Our process
How we buy your media
Five steps from your brief to the final report. The same senior team runs every one, so nothing is lost between the plan and the booking.
Step 01
Brief
We start with your goals, audience, markets, timing and budget. If you don’t have a formal brief, we’ll build one with you.
What you get: a one-page brief we both sign off.
Step 02
Plan
We recommend the channels and the mix, with the reasoning and the expected reach for each.
What you get: a media plan with costs, before you commit.
Step 03
Negotiate
We negotiate rates, placements and added value with media owners, drawing on relationships built since 2008.
Step 04
Book and monitor
We book every placement and check that it runs as agreed. If something under-delivers, we chase it.
Step 05
Report
You get a clear report on what ran, what it cost and how it performed against the plan.
What you get: a monthly report while your campaign runs, then a post-campaign report comparing what was booked with what was delivered. For streaming, it covers impressions, delivery, reach, frequency, devices and location.

FAQ
Media buying questions
How much does media buying cost?
It depends on the channels, markets, timing and length of your campaign. We give you a plan with costs before you commit, and there’s no minimum spend.
Can you audit our current media plan?
Yes, for free. Send us your current plan and we’ll tell you honestly where it’s working and where your budget could work harder. There’s no obligation.
How do you charge?
No two businesses are the same, so neither are our fees. We tailor every arrangement to your goals, channels and budget, and agree it with you before any work starts. There’s no minimum spend on media buying.
Do you buy media in New Zealand?
Yes. We plan and buy media across Australia and New Zealand, including trans-Tasman campaigns.
Can you buy media if we already have our creative?
Yes. We’ll check your creative suits each channel’s specifications. If you need new work, our creative team can make it.
How will I know my campaign ran?
We check every placement against the booking and send you a report every month while your campaign runs. At the end, a post-campaign report compares what was booked with what was delivered. For streaming, that includes impressions, delivery against the booking, reach, frequency, the devices your ad was heard on and where your listeners were.
What's the difference between media planning and media buying?
Planning decides where and when your ads should run. Buying secures that space at the best price and makes sure it runs. We do both, so the plan and the booking stay aligned.
