Guide notes — confirm current access and buying terms:
What it is: A professional advertising-buying platform used to select and pay for placements across participating digital media. It does not mean buying advertising everywhere on the internet.
Illustrative example: A media buyer selects relevant sites and streaming placements for a travel brand.
May suit: Businesses working with an experienced media buyer or agency.
What I need: Buying access, a clear audience, suitable materials, measurement and an agreed budget including platform and service fees.
First step: Describe one audience and outcome to a buying partner and request a small, clearly bounded proposal.
Help me decide whether this specific option suits my business. Explain unfamiliar words and ask a few questions at a time. Distinguish the media supplier, buying platform and agency where relevant. Check official current access, placements, fees and technical requirements if browsing is available; otherwise tell me exactly what to check. Do not assume self-serve access or invent minimum budgets, audience sizes or results. Propose a small test only if appropriate, including total cost, one useful measure and a stopping rule. Do not buy, publish, open accounts or contact anyone.
