Why established advertisers switch

Four places a mature TV program leaks money.

Brands already on linear and streaming usually aren’t short on data. They’re short on a partner who acts on it.

You’re paying market rate

Our decades-long publisher relationships and rate structures are ones most buyers can’t access. You get preferential rates, negotiated bonus weight and first look at fire sales.

20–30% lower CPMs across 90+ networks through CPM Network®

You’re measuring leads, not outcomes

Accutrak® ties each airing to what happens later in your CRM, so budget moves toward your best customers, not just the most calls.

4–8× more conversions found than pixel tracking alone for one DTC brand

Your creative has gone stale

Spots stay on air too long, the :30 / :15 / :10 mix drifts, and competitors change their message. We test creative by length, message and market, then shift weight to what wins.

In-house — creative, production, media and analytics on one team

You’ve hit a ceiling

Past a certain spend, frequency piles up and cost per acquisition climbs. We find new efficient networks and publishers so you can keep scaling.

$50M to $300M+ annual spend for one national brand, with a 24% lower CPA

Switching without going dark

Changing agencies shouldn’t mean a gap in your schedule.

Legal services · Agency transition

Took over in 30 days, then scaled to $20M a year

A mesothelioma law firm needed high-quality case leads from a hard-to-reach senior audience. We took over from their previous agency within 30 days and targeted by lifestyle and occupation, not just demographics.

  • 19% lower CPA
  • 24% lower lead cost
  • 38% budget increase

Extended warranty · National DRTV

Broke through a $50M ceiling

Results dropped whenever annual spend neared $50M. We cut oversaturation, added CTV and regional overlays, and used Accutrak® to put weight behind the top creative.

  • 24% lower CPA
  • 6× budget increase
  • 17% brand lift

How we start

It starts with an audit of what you already run.

Before we recommend spending a dollar more, our senior team reviews the three things that decide your results.

Creative audit

We review every spot in rotation and compare it with the top advertisers in your category. Each one gets a clear call: keep, refine, replace or test.

  • Message
  • Offer
  • Talent
  • CTA
  • Length mix
Media review

We look at what you pay and where it runs, and where you’re over- or under-weighted.

  • Rates
  • Clearance
  • Networks
  • Dayparts
  • Frequency
  • Linear vs. CTV
Measurement check

How your response is credited today, what’s being missed, and what connecting it to real business results would show.

  • Attribution
  • CRM match
  • Incrementality
  • MMM fit

Why InterMedia

Performance, not just placement.

We bring 50 years of direct response discipline to both linear and streaming.

  • The people you meet run your account.

    Senior strategists and analysts lead day to day. You won’t be handed to a junior team after the pitch.

  • One team, from script to schedule.

    Creative, production, media and analytics work side by side, so what we learn in testing goes straight into the next edit and the next buy.

  • Optimized daily.

    We contact networks every day to hold rates down and check your airings actually ran.

  • Full transparency.

    Clear dashboards, daily reporting, data feeds into your own systems, and no hidden fees.

  • Built around your team.

    We can run everything, or support the in-house team you already have with our tools and strategy.

  • Linear and streaming, one plan.

    Both channels are planned together and measured with the same framework.
