Work

Channel mix workshop

A half-day working session for the growth team and the budget holder, using your last two planning cycles as the raw material. The output is a marked-up mix, not a slide theatre.

Who it is for

Teams about to reset annual media mix, or who have inherited a split they cannot explain to a new commercial lead.

The result

A photographed board, a typed record of decisions, and a short list of what must be checked in the files before money moves.

Scope

Half a day plus written notes within five working days. Up to eight people in the room. Pre-read of your last two mix sheets is included.

Included

  • Pre-read of mix sheets and last-click summaries you already have
  • Facilitation, timed agenda, and printed worksheets
  • Typed decision record and photograph of the board

Not included

  • A full attribution review (commission that separately if the files need it)
  • Vendor selection or contract review

Who does the work

Fiona Mearns facilitates. Priya Desai attends when partnership or affiliate lines are on the table.

How it runs

  1. Pre-read You send mix sheets five working days ahead. We mark the questions the room must finish.
  2. The half-day Contribution, capture, and brand-term inflation are worked through with worksheets. The budget holder stays for the last hour.

Duration

Half a day on site or by video, plus notes.

Where it happens

Your UK office, our room in Turclossie, or video with a shared board posted in advance.

Preparation

Last two mix sheets, a list of campaigns that must not be cut without discussion, and the budget holder in the last hour.

Constraints

We will not run a ‘brainstorm’ that leaves mix unchanged. If the files cannot support a proposed shift, that is written down in the room.

Fees

£1,900 excluding VAT plus travel outside Aberdeenshire at cost. Room hire in Turclossie is included; your office is used at no extra room fee.

Next step

Propose three dates on the contact form and say who will sit in the last hour.
