CMS335 Learning Objective 6:

Analyze media channels for effective media outreach

Every marketing plan could possibly include media outreach if budget, objectives, and audience make it appropriate. I have experienced a sharp decline over the past several years in the desire to allocate dollars to media, particularly print and broadcast, when much less expensive digital advertising is available and budgets are increasingly restricted. Several of the examples previously presented in this portfolio contain recommendations for print and digital media placement:
