It takes years to become a good media buyer – and only if you have the intensity and drive for it.  Just understanding the ebb and flow of the media buying year is an art in itself.  Each quarter of the year is unique and must be experienced several times to fully understand the dynamics of media supply and demand, and how they impact the negotiation process.

Within each quarter, each month also has its nuances.  Special circumstances, such as a major election year, further complicate media buying.  Add to that the characteristics and goals of individual campaigns and you begin to see the complexities media agencies and buyers face.

Now, you don't have to risk a lot of time, money and effort learning DRTV strategies. This intensive, hands-on Direct Response Television Management Boot-Camp is the only two day training where you will learn proven and innovative DRTV strategies DRTV insiders are using to create successful DRTV campaigns.
