Cutting Through the Noise to Win with Smarter Media
INDUSTRY: Golf, Tennis, Sporting Goods
SERVICES PROVIDED: Media Buying, TV & Streaming Advertising, Strategic Media Planning
Dunlop Sports had a capable and experienced marketing team. They were doing everything right: buying media directly, negotiating with TV and digital vendors, and getting their message out across multiple markets.
But then, things changed.
The media world became more complex. New platforms emerged, streaming became essential, and vendors came knocking from every direction. Each one had a shiny offer, a limited-time deal, or a must-buy package. It was too much. And soon, Dunlop’s team wasn’t strategizing, they were just surviving.
They were stuck in meetings, reviewing ‘sales-y’ rate cards, juggling timelines, and managing dozens of vendor relationships. And all the while, ad costs kept creeping higher.
They didn’t need more options. They needed clarity.
