Broadcast Advertising Full Frequency Agency
- There are cases where radio stations have been commissioned by the advertising company's entire frequency. There are not a few who have been forced to exit because of failure to complete the annual agency indicator. The successful ones seem to be only three sets from the central government. The frequency agency model prefers long-term contracts. For more than 3-5 years, Taiwan and Hong Kong companies are enthusiastic about investing in mainland broadcast media-"Buy a radio station to make money". They scramble to come for gold, and most of them pretend to be "spread modern Media business philosophy and marketing integration . Qifu Advertising Co., Ltd. packaged the sound of music in all directions, Virgin Asia Radio and hit FM began to cooperate, Taiwan Yuanchuan Company signed contracts with 10 local radio stations in China, Nanchang Good Friends Media and other nations including Nanchang, Ganzhou, Shijiazhuang, Beijing, Huainan, etc. More than 30 radio stations signed cooperation ...
Broadcast Advertising Agency
- Acting for a certain period of time for advertising management. Radio stations in Shanghai and other places have adopted this model. The time slot agent adopts closed and open agents, most of which are mainly program titles and commercial programs.
Broadcast Advertising Indicator Agent
- Enjoy an agency fee with an annual guideline that is acceptable to both parties. At present, agency fees for radio advertising seem to start at 30%. Based on past indicator experience, the annual indicator growth is achieved year by year.
Radio advertising brand agency, premium agency
- For a company that has a certain large customer in a certain field, the radio station is often willing to let it enjoy the agency policy. Brand agency is industry agency in a certain sense; super agency is index agency in a certain sense.
Independent operation of radio advertising frequency
- Many frequencies have their own advertising management team, in the form of receiving a fixed monthly radio station and no fixed income at all. Individuals work for the frequency. Many mature frequencies of independent operation take a considerable weight and are the ultimate guarantee. With the gradual improvement of the agency system, members of these teams are gradually transformed into customer service personnel, becoming a link between frequency and social companies. There are also many business professionals who eventually set up their own advertising companies to get involved in frequency advertising operations. The director of frequency meets, and there is a group of "corporate executives" with higher income than that.
Intensive management of radio advertising station
- Beijing Radio's subordinate frequencies are unifiedly operated by the main station as an industry agency, unified bidding, frequency distribution, and programs and advertisements have begun to separate. As everyone knows, Beijing Radio started on the premise that the industry agency has reached a certain stage, the volume has increased to allow moderate risks, the mature frequency (traffic frequency) plays a supporting role in operations, and the business leaders have sufficient control over the broad market. This step. Some provincial radio stations followed suit blindly, but the bidding could not be carried out, and the temporary change was made. Some groups or the main station held a vigorous intensive bidding at the beginning of the year, made scary figures, and were ashamed of accounting at the end of the year. The general trend of the world, the long time must be together, the long time must be divided. In 2007, many provinces and cities in TV advertising operation will change from the group (main station) company integration mode to "channel system." The "frequency system" of broadcasting is shifting in the opposite direction.
Radio advertising frequency, main station two-way operation
- There are also places that adopt a two-pronged approach, each with a business scope, and each with a focus on making dishes. For example, Nanjing Broadcasting and Media Center assigns 4A advertising and value-added services (such as telecommunications and ring tones) to the center, while local services are at their own frequency. The effect is not as expected, but it is also a means of "clandestinely crossing Chen Cang", which also reflects the ambivalence of the operator's migration between the frequency system and the central system.
Radio advertising company invests in shares
- Some advertising companies invest in yearly basic manpower and equipment to ensure frequency operation, but they basically do not intervene in frequency advertising management, participate in dividends at the end of the year, and enjoy the profits of radio advertising. This shareholder-based radio operation can only be implemented in a flexible way, but it seems to be a promising model. Because it is the operating philosophy and operation methods of listed companies in the true sense.
