NOVUS Media LLC
2.6 Glassdoor
We are an award-winning, independent media agency specializing in planning, buying and providing analytics on media performance. Three key benefits set us apart from most agencies: 1. We maximize your dollars and minimize waste. Our conviction is that since business situations and business needs differ greatly by geography, “cookie cutter” plans don’t cut it. We minimize waste by 15-25% on average by focusing media exactly where you need it. 2. We drive traffic. At the core, we get people to take action. Our proprietary approach to ZIP Code prioritization and dynamic digital optimization has proven to drive ROI / ROAS increases quarter after quarter. 3. We deliver results, not reach. Unlike most agencies, we don’t plan nor optimize to traditional media metrics like reach. Rather, we developed proprietary tools like “FullSail” to optimize to the best media channel mix across the full funnel, both awareness and sales. And our optimizations are inclusive of all media – display, video, search, social, TV, radio, OOH, and print – all at a DMA or sub-DMA level --based on modeled sales response.
