Traditional Media
EXPAND YOUR REACH WITH COLLING MEDIA
In a multi-channel world, traditional media continues to drive awareness, trust, and lasting brand impact. At Colling Media, we bring a modern, performance-driven approach to TV, radio, and billboard advertising, combining strategic placement with smart messaging to help your brand break through the noise. Our proprietary media buying strategy, including need vs. want buying, ensures your campaigns are not only seen—but seen at the right time, by the right audience, with the right message.
Why Traditional Media Still Works
From a powerful TV commercial during the evening news to a well-placed billboard on a busy highway, traditional media channels continue to reach wide audiences and influence purchasing behavior. With strategic timing and media selection, Colling Media helps you use these proven channels to drive results in a way that complements your digital efforts.
Our Traditional Media Services Include:
Television Advertising (Broadcast & Cable)
Television still commands attention and authority—especially when placed intentionally.
- Smart Media Buying
We purchase placements across top national and local networks, targeting your ideal demographic with data-backed planning.
- Need vs. Want Buying Strategy
We tailor ad schedules based on consumer behavior:
- Need-based products/services (e.g. HVAC repair, dental care) air Monday–Wednesday, when consumers are solution-focused.
- Want-based products/services (e.g. entertainment, lifestyle upgrades) air Wednesday–Friday, when audiences are more open to discretionary spending.
- Creative Production
High-quality commercials that tell your story and drive action.
- Daypart Strategy
Placement based on when your target viewer is most attentive—morning news, primetime, or late night.
Radio Advertising (AM/FM & Satellite)
Radio provides cost-effective frequency and hyper-local reach, with audio that connects on an emotional level.
- Station Selection by Intent
Need vs. want strategy applies here, too. We align message timing and station choice with listener mindsets throughout the week.
- Reach Across Platforms
We buy across terrestrial radio, satellite (SiriusXM), and digital streaming (Spotify, Pandora, iHeart) to meet your audience wherever they listen.
- Message Strategy
Compelling scripts and audio production that align with your campaign tone—urgent, educational, or inspirational.
- Tracking Capabilities
Paired with vanity URLs or dedicated phone lines to measure ROI.
Outdoor Advertising (Traditional Billboards)
Static billboards offer 24/7 brand visibility in high-traffic locations and play a critical role in brand reinforcement.
- Strategic Placement
We secure billboard inventory based on traffic data, commuter behavior, and geographic relevance.
- Message Timing
For need-based products, we prioritize placements near residential and service areas; for want-based offers, near entertainment, shopping, or travel corridors.
- Creative Design
Our team ensures your visuals and messaging are bold, concise, and unforgettable.
- Market Saturation
Drive brand consistency by placing multiple boards across a defined area for maximum impression volume.
Our Strategic Edge: Need vs. Want Buying
One size doesn’t fit all in media strategy. That’s why we use a need vs. want buying model to match consumer mindset with timing and channel:
Need-Based Products & Services:
We schedule ads early in the week (Monday–Wednesday) when consumers are actively addressing problems and making practical decisions.
Want-Based Products & Services:
We schedule ads later in the week (Wednesday–Friday), aligning with a more aspirational, reward-driven mindset when consumers are more open to spending on upgrades and experiences.
This approach guides our station selection, time of day, and frequency planning, ensuring your media dollars are spent when consumers are most receptive to your message.
