Project Management & Media Placement
Our IN-HOUSE media placement team carefully plans all media purchases, taking into consideration budgets, anticipated response rates, enrollment deadlines, risk factors and the anticipated ability to handle responses. Before developing and executing the placement strategy, we research the demographic profile of the indication and perform market research in each local market to choose the medium, format, publication and programs that will yield the greatest call response for the least cost.
