Good morning, Marketers, and the Superbowl reminds us large audiences are still valuable.

I was struck by reports that NBC had sold most of its Super Bowl ad inventory by mid-summer and at a higher price than last year even though the audience was at a 15 year low. The two determining factors, of course, are scarcity and reach. An audience of 96.4 million may be a dwindling audience — but it’s still a very large audience indeed.

In a fragmenting world where individuals are increasingly willing and able to consume niche content on niche channels, the ability to reach a large and diverse audience has some nostalgic appeal. OOH advertising has been renewing itself through digital connections and singular events like the Super Bowl can put big brands in front of vast numbers of eyeballs.

Such events are unlikely to become extinct — but they are becoming increasingly rare. Witness the plummeting audiences for the Olympic Games and the Academy Awards.

What we’re reading. Scott Brinker reviews data showing that two thirds of SaaS spend within companies is now managed by business units rather than IT. About 1 in 5 individual employees buy their own SaaS subscriptions and expense them. As he rightly says, it seems too late to call this “shadow IT.” “(I)t’s the kind of shadow that a towering landmark casts in the bright light of day. Tourists pay money to visit it and take selfies.”

FAQs

Why wouldn't I just hire a full-time marketing team?

Great question! Hiring a full-time marketing team can be costly, with salaries and benefits easily exceeding $500,000 per year. Plus, you may not always have enough work to keep them busy, leading to wasted resources.

With MediaQuad’s subscription model, you can scale up or down as needed, ensuring you’re only paying for the services you need.

 

Is there a limit to how many requests I can have?

Once subscribed, you’re able to add as many marketing and web development requests to your queue as you’d like, and they will be delivered one by one unless you are on the Enterprise plan.

How fast will I receive my marketing deliverables?

On average, most requests are completed in just a few days. However, more complex requests can take longer.

 

Who are the marketers and developers?

MediaQuad is a team of experienced marketing and web development professionals. You’ll be working directly with our team, ensuring consistent, high-quality results.

How do I pause my subscription?

We understand you may not have enough marketing and web development work to fill up every month. That’s where pausing your subscription comes in handy. You can pause and resume your subscription as often as you need to ensure you’re only paying when you have work available for that month.

What software do you use?

We use a variety of industry-standard tools and software. If you use it, we probably have or currently use it too. Seriously, this is what we do everyday.

How do I request marketing and web development services?

MediaQuad offers a ton of flexibility in how you request services. You can request directly via our platform, share Google docs or wireframes, or even record a brief video. If it can be linked to or shared in our platform, it’s fair game.

What if I don't like the deliverable?

No problem! We’ll continue to revise the deliverable until you’re 100% satisfied.

What if I only have a single request?

That’s fine. You paid for a month’s worth of work, so don’t throw it away. Remember to submit a pause email or pause task in Trello. We’ll note how many business days you have left in your month, and you can come back when you need more marketing or web development services.

Are there any refunds if I don't like the service?

Due to the high-quality nature of our work, we do not issue refunds. However, we’re committed to ensuring your satisfaction and will work with you to address any concerns.
