Channel Planning emerged as a significant presence in marketing in the 2000s in response to the proliferation of new media and the resultant
complexity
How is i t d i f f e ren t f rom ‘norma l ’ p lann ing
Far less concerned with defining what the brand is about and more concerned with deciding where the consumer is, how they behave when they’re there
Untapped opportunities and consumer needs
A separa te d isc ip l ine?
Not all account planners who trained in "traditional" agencies have these skills.
It is possible that in future, once the new media environment has been thoroughly internalised, Channel Planning will disappear as a separate discipline.
What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.

It’s a public space, you share your life with friends. Show who you are
Content you’re proud of. It’s where you learn stuff and discover things to make you look smarter. Occasional ranting
