Conversations on How Nonprofit Attractions Drive Attendance Through Marketing

In-Housing Your Attraction’s Media Planning and Buying

Jenny shares how she would build an in-house media buying team at a zoo, aquarium, museum or garden. She takes on the challenge from the perspective of a 15-year ad agency pro. 

Her steps are… 

  1. Get the attraction’s visitation numbers in a place where she can see them weekly. 
  2. Get access to all ad buying platform – Google Ads, Facebook, etc. And, start paying all the media bills directly. 
  3. Hire a ‘media coordinator’ and not a ‘media buyer/planner.’ 
  4. Find the best consultants and freelancers to do the specialty work.
