03 — Broadcast & buying
ElectronicMedia
Broadcast buying in Pakistan rewards people who have been in the room for years. We plan with the data and negotiate with the history.
A TVC costs a fraction of what the airtime behind it costs, yet most of the argument happens over the film. We think the plan deserves the same scrutiny: which channels, which belts, what reach at what frequency, and what it takes to move a household that has already seen the category twice this week.
We build plans from ratings data and buy them through direct channel relationships, then reconcile every spot against the log. If a spot did not run in the belt it was bought in, it gets made good — that reconciliation is where a lot of value quietly leaks out of Pakistani media budgets.
Radio and cinema sit in the same plan rather than beside it. Radio is the cheapest frequency-builder in the country for a drive-time audience, and it pairs naturally with outdoor on the same commute.
What that covers.
- 01
Channel planning
Reach and frequency modelled by belt and genre against the current ratings panel, not last year's assumptions.
- 02
Airtime negotiation
Direct buying across news, entertainment and sport, including bonus weight and sponsorship idents.
- 03
Radio
Drive-time spots and station tie-ins across FM networks in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi and Faisalabad.
- 04
Cinema
On-screen pre-roll in multiplexes, sold by print rather than by seat — bought against confirmed release slates.
- 05
TVC production
15, 30 and 45-second commercials produced in-house or with partner directors, delivered to broadcast spec.
- 06
Log reconciliation
Every spot checked against the transmission log. Missed belts are recovered as make-goods, not written off.
