Korean Media Planning Guide
The fastest workflow for planners and advertisers is brief search, shortlist comparison, budget allocation, then publisher outreach.
How to start fast
1. Search with the real brief
Start with target, budget, KPI, and industry language as-is. Pair it with category hubs when you need a broader starting set.
2. Compare pricing, targeting, and source evidence
Use the compare tray to compress the shortlist based on pricing evidence, targeting, audience, and original source links.
3. Close with media mix and outreach
Once the candidate set is stable, move into media mix and inquiry draft so the plan becomes executable.
What to review on every product
Numeric pricing and minimum budget
Separate text-only pricing from numeric price and minimum budget fields before you trust a product for buying prep.
Targeting and audience fields
Products with both targeting and audience evidence are much easier to evaluate during shortlist review.
Original source and verification date
Source provenance and check date help you filter out stale decks or aggregator-only references quickly.
Example searches to start with
Natural-language brief queries work best when you phrase them like a real planning request.
