Attention, Not Channels

Effective media planning recognizes that audiences do not passively consume channels; they actively direct their attention. For organizations targeting the Oakland market, this means identifying the specific moments and platforms where your audience is most engaged. A plan centered on attention ensures your media investment aligns with real human behavior, leading to more impactful exposure.

Instead of broad channel allocations, we focus on the decision points where an audience pays attention. This involves understanding their daily routines, interests, and the context in which they interact with media. By prioritizing where attention converges, we construct media plans that efficiently reach and resonate with your target audience across Oakland, optimizing every media dollar.

Police recruitment competes with every other employer for the same small pool of people who are willing and eligible to serve. Job boards reach candidates who are already looking. The department needed to reach the ones who were not, hold their attention long enough to consider the badge, and do it inside a two-month window with open positions waiting to be filled.
