Key benefits for participating: 


- A complete overview of the media fundamentals in 3 afternoons 


- Dedicated to account and project managers with up to 3 years of experience



-Hosted by reputed experts in the matter 


Three sessions to get a grip on

your media essentials 

Session 1:
Setting the Media Scene / On & Off Media metrics / Overview Classic Paid Touchpoints '
With Wout Dockx & Kathleen Soontjens

To start the cycle, we will overlook “the state of media” in Belgium and the pace of digitalization. Next, we will explain the basic media metrics used in on & off media measurement and reporting – metrics that you will come across in a mediaplan.


Kathleen will then give an essential overview of the “classic” media - the part that still represents about 60% of media investments.

Session 2:
‘In-Home Advertising & the power of post. How paper mail stays hyper-meaningful in a digital world.’

With Katrien Merckx

Katrien Merckx will tell you all you need to know about the role of Paper Mail within a mediamix. It might sound “old school” at first, but Katrien will show you that the value of paper still remains even in a digital landscape. And besides, vintage is hot & greener as you think! 


'Digital Paid Touchpoints' (Part 1)

With Damien Nicolas


Damien will kick off with a few figures about the digital state of the art on our market. You will review basics and best practices of Search Engine Marketing, Display advertising, Video advertising and programmatic buying. You will compare the effectiveness of video on TV, YouTube and Facebook for example. And you will discover the added value, and the pitfalls (!!!) of programmatic advertising.

Session 3:
‘Digital Paid touchpoints (Part 2) and Digital Paid Media Strategy ’

With Damien Nicolas

Now you know about SEA, Display, Video and programmatic, you will cover Social Paid, Native & Content and some trading information. What social network or what format can help you in the various layers of your communication journey? Everybody is talking about native… But is this crazy new shit? We will define what’s real native. And to end your paid touchpoints journey, some consideration on how to buy media. 


Then, it is time to connect the dots. First, you will share about campaign KPI. Is click through rate a good KPI ? What tools can you use to measure and optimize campaigns? And finally, how do you build a strategy, how do you connect it to offline media, to the advertiser owned channels? You will map all touchpoints regarding the communication objectives.
