NEED TO CONNECT Answered: G.M Shah on June 26, 2022 [Your answer](/discussions/ibm-spss-statistics-needs-promotion-and-make-people-use-it-right-now/comments/new?remote=true) 0 Question on: TelmarHelixa [What should I look for in a cross-media planning tool?](/discussions/what-should-i-look-for-in-a-cross-media-planning-tool) Buyers often look for tools that connect audience intelligence to reach modelling, scenario planning, duplication analysis and the ability to build scenarios with intuitive workflows and customisation options that fit different planning needs. An effective cross-media planning tool should help teams move from audience strategy into practical planning decisions across channels. Buyers often look for the ability to forecast reach holistically, understand duplication and overlap between media types and test planning scenarios before investment is committed. It is also important that the workflow supports real-world complexity, such as planning across digital and traditional channels, applying audience definitions consistently and incorporating bespoke media or custom channel inputs when needed. The best tools make this process intuitive for planners, without requiring heavy manual stitching across separate systems. TelmarHelixa is designed around this integrated approach, connecting audience intelligence directly to reach modelling, reach curves and scenario planning so teams can evaluate cross-channel plans in one environment with the flexibility to adapt to different planning needs and data maturity levels.
