An online portal presents information from diverse sources in a
unified way.

PORTALS
Examples of when we would we use a portal
When we want cross-platform opportunities e.g. Dolly online,
offline and mobile buys
When we want to reach a lot of people in one day i.e. homepages
• Product launches
To align with quality, well-established content
When we want to use a number of different environments for the
same plan (can buy under „one roof‟)
When we want to implement a content integration deal i.e. not
just banner advertising
PUBLISHER

STRENGTHS
Strong reach in AU

Targeting capabilities
Large sales teams
Video offering
Strong editorial teams by genre

In-house production
Continually developing/changing
Rich media solutions
Access to research
WEAKNESSES
Clutter
Sometimes Inflexible and costly
Performance offerings
On and offline are separate
Harder to buy high SOV
The Long Tail (sales, niche and performance networks and
affiliates)
High reach and mass communication media is
under pressure from a multitude of small, niche
and engaging sites. Each of the sites
individually might have low reach, but when
combined they impact traditional media.
A Sales Network is company that sells advertising across a
number of unrelated sites on behalf of the site owner.
A Niche Network is a company that sells advertising across a
number of related sites which they own themselves.

NETWORKS
Examples of when we would we use a sales or
niche network
When we want to reach the „long tail‟
When we want to align with a specific community e.g. mums,
youth, travel
When we don‟t have enough money to buy a large SOV on a
portal (more cost effective)
When we are looking for a unique partnership

Volume of traffic
Sales representation in the market
Limited innovation (sales networks)
A performance network buys remnant inventory of numerous
portals and networks and resells the inventory at a low CPM or on
a performance basis (e.g. CPA, CPC)
An Affiliate network is a company who acts as an intermediary
between a site that generates leads and an advertiser (tend to be
longer term relationships)

NETWORKS
Examples of when we would we use a
performance or affiliate network
When we want to drive an action e.g. clicks to site, applications,
competition entries
When all we care about is low cost and high volume (perf only)
When we are running straight banner advertising campaigns (they
can‟t do fancy integration deals)
When we want to re-target an audience that have already been to
our site (performance networks have the technology)
When we want a long term tenancy to drive leads/sales (affiliate)

association with it help the client‟s brand/product?

performed

day of week, time of day, behavioural (if relevant)
