What They Are Saying About Real Media Fusion...

  • Real Media Fusion understands measured media, how to track it and what it can reveal; they have a deep understanding of how The Affordable Health Care Act will affect Marketers relative to obtaining and managing huge amounts of data. RMF’s pharmaceutical knowledge will be very helpful in guiding hospital Marketers into sub-segmenting from disease type to disease stage; within the next two years Hospital Marketers’ focus will change completely from filling beds to keeping people healthy and out of hospitals – all this change makes for a great opportunity for a group like RMF. They understand segmentation, tracking and dealing with large amounts of data. I have not run into other agencies who get these things as well as they do.

    — Acct Supervisor, Creative Partner Agency —
  • “The PHLCVB chose Real Media Fusion as our strategic media partner in 2017. They quickly developed a keen understanding of meetings and convention industry dynamics, which enabled them to plan and buy our media (traditional and digital) very efficiently and helped us to optimize our media spending out of the gate, critical for us as a not-for-profit with limited ad dollars. The RMF Team are creative thinkers that bring depth of knowledge in digital and emerging media. They have worked hand-in-hand with our internal team, industry partners, creative agency and search marketing team to produce informed and holistic solutions to our marketing challenges. RMF is highly responsive and agile, which has enabled us take advantage of tactical opportunities to maximize our presence at key industry events.”

What We Do

We are passionate, innovative, nimble, solutions-oriented and data-driven. Our approach to media begins by developing a partnership with our clients, learning the nuances of their specific brand, applying break-through strategies and ultimately, exceeding their goals. We have in-depth experience working with B2C, B2B, DTP and HCP audiences.

We are constantly monitoring emerging trends, and apply that knowledge to our media solutions.  As we’ve seen in the past, once trends change, they tend to become the norm.  Change is occurring more rapidly than before, and we continue to monitor and apply insights accordingly.

INSIGHTS, RESEARCH & DATA ANALYSIS

Before we develop a media plan, we analyze numerous resources including, but not limited to:

  • Marketplace Conditions & Trends
  • Predictive Analytics
  • First, Second and Third Party Data
  • Previous Experience
  • Past Performance

Once a campaign has launched, we continuously optimize the media schedule to most effectively and efficiently achieve our clients’ goals.

STRATEGIC MEDIA PLANNING

RMF’s media planning process begins with a comprehensive media brief that outlines our clients’ objectives and parameters. We then apply our research insights and experience with the media channels that best reach the clients’ audience when they are in the right mindset and environment to receive and act on the message.

We consider ourselves architects of media. We develop media blueprints that best reach the target audience and achieve our clients’ goals. We are always looking for new and unique channels to exceed our clients’ goals. Our media architects are trained to develop multi-channel plans including:

  • Linear and Over the Top (OTT) Video
  • Traditional and Streaming Audio
  • Digital and Print Magazines
  • Static and Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH)
  • Place-based / Point-of-Care
  • Paid Search
  • Programmatic
  • Paid Social Media
  • Site Direct
  • Experiential
  • Emerging Media

MEDIA BUYING, ACTIVATION & OPTIMIZATION

Once our media blueprints are approved by the client, our Media Specialists then negotiate, activate and optimize the schedules.

Our Media Specialists ensure all campaigns stay on time and on budget as well as track performance.
