Budget Set By Last Year Plus Ten Percent
Spend is inherited rather than modelled, so nobody can say what it should be.
Demand modelling, channel mix planning, budget forecasting, and measurement design, so a media investment is approved on numbers rather than on a platform pitch.
Before a single ad runs, you should be able to say what the budget is expected to return, which assumptions that depends on, and what will tell you early that it is wrong.
Orka Digital has planned and managed digital advertising for Australian businesses since 2009, including national grocery and hospitality brands, working from St Marys in Western Sydney.

Three signs this is the right conversation to be having.
Spend is inherited rather than modelled, so nobody can say what it should be.
Campaigns launch without an expected cost per acquisition, so results cannot be judged.
Each platform claims the same conversion and the finance team believes none of them.
The work itself, written down: what you receive and what each part includes.

What's included
Three commitments that shape how we deliver this work.
Every plan includes written assumptions and monthly targets, so performance can be checked against it.

Establish real demand and current efficiency instead of starting from an aspirational target.
Build the budget, funnel, and return scenarios with the assumptions made visible.
Set the channel roles, creative testing plan, and measurement specification.
Package it as a business case your finance team can interrogate and sign off.
We can launch the plan for you, then review results against the forecast each month.
We agree up front how the work will be judged, then report against it.
Leads or sales against the agreed scenario.
What each customer costs, by channel and overall.
Each channel measured with the agreed attribution model.
