Target public – understanding where your target spends the most time online and offline is crucial for selecting the most effective channels
Objectives – what do you want to achieve?
Budget - Costs associated with different media channels can vary
Message – what kind of content you want to create (articles, videos, shorts, etc)? Do you want to create visual content or deliver complex information (blog, article)?
