the right people. the right time. the right price.

Anyone can buy ads. Strategy is 100% of it. bahlr plans your media one-on-one with Corey, places it on Meta, streaming TV and the local networks, tracks every view to your website and every lead, then meets with you monthly to double down on what works and shut off what doesn’t.

an example report. yours comes with a meeting.

strategy first

buying ads is easy. buying the right ones isn’t.

Where your money goes matters more than how much you spend. You sit down one-on-one with Corey, who plans your media around the people you need to reach, and brings relationships across the Pacific Northwest and nationally to get it placed well.

Then every month, you meet with the whole team. We show you what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’re doing about it. Double down on what works. Shut off what doesn’t.

targeting & tracking

reach the right people. see what they do.

National, by location, by who they are and by how they behave. Then we follow the path from the first view to the phone call.

  1. 1

    WHO

    target

    National or local, by geography, demographics and behaviors: the people most likely to buy.

  2. 2

    THE VIEW

    they see it

    Your ad on their phone, their feed or their TV, at the right time and often enough to stick.

  3. 3

    THE VISIT

    they look you up

    We track who comes to your website after seeing your ad, even from the TV.

  4. 4

    THE LEAD

    they reach out

    Calls, forms and bookings, counted and in your monthly report, so you know what your spend brought in.

agency of record

someone in your corner.

The networks are great partners. But they work in detail with media buyers, not with every business that calls. Naming bahlr your agency of record simply tells them we represent you and have your best interest in mind, so we can sit at the table and get you the best deals on streaming and TV.

It isn’t a legally binding contract, and it doesn’t lock you in. It’s a letter that says “talk to bahlr.” That’s it.

questions

good questions.

How much do I need to spend to start?

You can start with as little as $250 a month in ad spend on Meta. Around $3,000 a month and up, streaming TV makes sense, usually with Meta still working alongside it.

What is an agency of record?

It’s a simple letter telling the networks that bahlr represents you and has your best interest in mind. It isn’t a legally binding contract. It lets us work with the networks in detail on your behalf and get you the best deals on streaming and TV.

Why not just call the TV station myself?

You can, and the networks are great to work with. But they work in detail with media buyers. Having someone in your corner who knows the reps saves you money, time and effort.

Which networks do you work with?

Locally we place with KHQ (NBC), KREM (CBS) and KAYU (FOX), plus streaming TV and Meta, and we buy nationally too. Where your money goes depends on who you need to reach.

How do I know if it’s working?

We track the path from the view to your website to the lead, and meet with you every month to go over it. What works gets more money. What doesn’t gets shut off.

Can you target just my area?

Yes. We can target nationally, by city or zip code, by demographics and by behaviors, so your ads reach the people most likely to buy.

Do you make the commercials too?

Yes. bahlr is full service: we make the commercials and content, and we place them. Media buying is what we love most, and it works best when the creative is made for where it will run.

What’s the $100,000 perk?

When your monthly media buy with bahlr as your agency of record reaches $100,000, your monthly content, branding and websites are free of charge.
