What is Media buying?
Media buying is the process of purchasing ad placements across digital and traditional channels to reach a target audience. In digital marketing, media buyers manage budgets, bidding strategies, audience targeting, and creative allocation on platforms like Meta, Google, TikTok, and programmatic networks. Effective media buying depends on a steady supply of high-performing creative to test and scale.
