We provide media owners with a comprehensive and bespoke audit of their agency’s contractual share of market expenditure commitments. Our approach of transparency over bureaucracy also ensures clear and measurable terms are established both before and during the trading year.
When it comes to accuracy and compliance, good enough simply isn’t good enough. So when carrying out an audit of a media sales house’s reporting and contracts you can be confident our experts will ensure best practice is the norm, not the exception.
In our always-on world, data is increasingly king. So when reviewing a media owner’s research processes our approach is always to interrogate before we validate, which in turns enhances trust and value in the media market for both trading and other purposes.
Best practice lies at the heart of everything we do. It’s why you’ll find us keeping all contracting parties in the loop at every stage of the process, as well as providing ongoing support services to continuously maintain the accountability of an agreement. We’ll also make sure any changes to the original deal are highlighted to everyone involved. No exceptions, no excuses, and no eleventh hour curveballs.
At Concise Media we believe in working the right way, right away. No cutting corners or taking shortcuts. A perfect example is our commitment to due diligence assurance, where we examine and report on the commercial or audience representations made by media organisations in connection with an investment transaction.
DCM is the market leader in cinema advertising and in 2012 became the first UK cinema advertising company to go fully digital. Cut to several years later and a period of sustained growth, DCM was keen to avoid slipping into complacency and potentially miss out on future market opportunities.
