About

We’re Australia’s largest independent media agency for many reasons.

Nunn Media is a 100% privately owned, Australian media agency that specialises in integrated strategy, planning and media buying. Front and centre of our business model is a simple philosophy that all great relationships are built on trust, so we partner with clients and media vendors in a very open and engaging way.

We also appreciate that ‘media’ is just one part of the bigger communications puzzle, so we place a high priority on our collaborative approach with clients and their other marketing partners. This allows us to provide exceptional value and is why we’ve become the largest independent media agency in Australia.

If you’re an advertiser and like the sound of our down-to-earth approach, please call or drop us a line.

Our mission

Inspire our people to unlock the growth potential of our clients through independent thinking.

Values

It’s not what we do, it’s the way that we do it.

At Nunn Media, our values define how we work and who we work with. They’re the foundation of our business and one of the key reasons for our success.

Peoples Agency: We always put people first – our clients, our employees, our partners. We recognise the value we deliver to our clients depends largely on the quality of the people we work with. The foundation of our future is in the quality of our people, and their relationships.

Loyal: We have a deep sense of loyalty to our clients and our staff.

Professional: We want to ensure that everything we deliver is carried out to the highest standards in the industry.

Partnership: We are committed to building long-term transparent partnerships with our clients, our staff and the media.

Collaboration: We endeavor to work together with our clients and partners in a spirit of mutual respect and collaboration.

Services

Never be complacent – that’s the philosophy behind everything we do.

We have a constantly evolving and comprehensive suite of integrated media strategy, planning and buying services designed with one thing in mind – to drive our clients’ sales.

Media Strategy and Research

We work with our clients to develop a strategic framework that will interrogate their brief, objectives and audience to guide how we best invest their media budget to drive growth. In an increasingly fragmented and complicated world we identify and use the best research solutions to assist the decision-making process to inform the strategy.

Social Media and Content

We empower brands we work with to get the most out of social media with our fully managed service. Our 100% in-house team offer full funnel solutions from awareness through to sales/conversions with full social attribution. We are a Facebook Marketing Partner – part of a global community of companies known for excellence on the platform. Not restricted to Paid Social, our Brand Engagement team oversees all work for brands that are looking to bridge the gap with their audience.

Programmatic

In an increasingly complex ecosystem, we pride ourselves on our fully transparent and highly brand safe approach to programmatic media buying. We strive to deliver high quality and efficient campaigns to help drive our clients’ businesses forward.

Consumer Insight

Research is meaningless unless it identifies clear and actionable insights. That’s why we identify potential customers, work out what motivates and inspires them and then provide media insights to reach them effectively.

Media Buying

We pride ourselves on the quality of our media buying and retain a ‘trading mentality’ at all times. We view every interaction with media vendors as another opportunity to drive greater value for our clients.

Digital Marketing Services

In an increasingly connected and automated world, our focus is to ensure that we deliver integrated and transparent digital solutions for our clients. Digital services include strategy, paid search, programmatic and performance, screens, social marketing and content.

Search

These days, ‘search’ is an important part of almost every marketing program. Our approach and partnerships ensure best-in-market practice for clients with all budget sizes.

Data & Analytics

It is important to know what works, what doesn’t and why. To understand this, we partner with the best in the country to help answer the ROI questions. We have a number of solutions ranging from dashboard, TV direct response optimisation software to full attribution to help our clients understand media performance on business metrics.

Leadership team

One big, happy family…
that’s what we’re all about.

Our people are our strength and one of the key reasons for our growth. We look to employ trustworthy collaborators who are approachable, responsive and proactive. That’s why we’re known as much for the work we do, as how we do it.

How does a media agency work?

Work for a media agency begins when they are briefed by a client, or they bid on a campaign based on a brief. A big key to developing a successful campaign is research and consumer insights. What media agencies do is all about people, both clients and consumers. Consumer insights lead the strategy and planning process, with the aim of identifying the best way to reach the consumer, change their behaviour and reach the campaign goals. To do this, a media agency can work with other companies linked to the client, such as an advertising agency, or contract one themselves.

What Does A Media Agency Do?

A media agency’s key role is to maximise the effectiveness of a marketing campaign through a comprehensive media strategy and detailed consumer insights, all while using market experience and relationships to get the best deal for the client.

Turning a brief into a strategy

The work of a media agency begins with a briefing from a client, outlining their specific sales or product-awareness goals. These goals can be as broad as increasing traffic to a website, or as specific as changing a brand’s perception in the marketplace, however they are usually sales-based.

Understanding the consumer

A key to the implementation and management of any campaign is understanding both the consumer and the competition. In fact, this is the basis of everything a media agency does. Media agencies do a lot of research work to create consumer insights.

Benefit from relationships and experience

Experienced media agencies will have close relationships with a lot of media companies, which can benefit their clients. With the amount of volume some media agencies trade, they can often leverage a good price for their client, or secure prime positioning, if this fits in with their strategy.

Why use a media agency?

Let your staff focus on their roles

Media agencies today are highly skilled organisations. Gone are the days when they purely booked ads in the newspaper or the TV station they thought would work best, using a relationship to get their clients a good deal. Sure, they still get great deals today, but their work is highly sophisticated and very specialised.

Expertise in a nuanced field

The media market has never been more fragmented than it is today. Consumers have never had more ways to find the information they want, and to communicate with each other. The digital age has done more than just add another media platform to the traditional TV, radio, newspaper and out-of-home marketing. It has created a huge range of nuanced opportunities to get a message out.

Experience where it counts

Expertise is one thing, experience is another. Media agencies work hard to develop campaigns for their clients, and spend a lot of time analysing their results and their effectiveness. In fact, reporting and analysis is an important part of every campaign process. Media agencies can use experience and learnings to benefit new clients.
