Media Buying

The audience is part of the strategy.
Rawan El-Mallah is a media buyer whose work spans Egypt and Saudi Arabia. She trained under Yousef Abdo, Founder and Architect of ADS.OPS, and represents Media Buying within the collective.
The discipline sits between what a business wants to communicate and what a customer has a reason to act on. An audience, an offer and a campaign need to make sense together. That relationship gives the work a stronger foundation than attention alone.
Rawan’s profile brings that craft into a wider professional collective. Across different markets and marketing disciplines, ADS.OPS keeps a common expectation: thoughtful work, clear reasoning and responsibility for the decisions being made.
Media Buying in practice.
The thinking around the discipline.
Connect the message to the audience.
A campaign enters a customer’s existing world. The offer and the message have to be considered in relation to the people the business is trying to reach.
Look past attention.
Being seen is one part of the journey. Media buying also has to consider the action a business needs and the experience that follows the advertisement.
Respect the difference between markets.
Practice across Egypt and Saudi Arabia brings two market contexts into view. The task is to understand what is relevant to the account and audience in each one.
