Co-Op Media Tour Calendar FAQs
-
A standalone media tour is built entirely around your brand, your spokesperson, and your message – you own the full segment and all the airtime. A Co-op Media Tour shares airtime across multiple brands, using smaller budgets, while still delivering broad broadcast reach. Co-ops are ideal for brands that want national TV and radio visibility without the investment of a dedicated campaign.
-
Your product or service is woven into the segment by the spokesperson as one of their featured recommendations within a broader consumer topic – a travel essentials tour, a back-to-school tech segment, a holiday gift guide. Our team develops the editorial, segment flow and visual assets to bring the segment together.
-
Each co-op media tour includes up to four brands within one editorial segment.
-
Our co-op media tours typically deliver an average of 20+ bookings and a minimum of 30 million impressions across television and radio, reaching audiences in markets across the country. The co-op format consistently delivers meaningful impressions at a fraction of the cost of a standalone tour. Results are shared through a comprehensive media monitoring report.
-
We recommend reserving your spot 3-5 weeks before the tour date. Longer lead times are recommended for popular segments that fill up quickly like – holiday, back-to-school, and seasonal lifestyle topics. If you see a tour on the calendar that aligns with your brand, the earlier you reserve the better.
-
Typically, we need product samples and brand information for the spokesperson, your key messaging points, and brand or product b-roll and/or imagery. Our team handles all project management, including media pitching, scheduling, production, and reporting.
