Essential Tool for Media Planning

Likeliness to Recommend

7 /10

What differentiates Mediaocean from other similar products?

I've work in an ad agency so they have a specific partnership with media ocean & I love it!! Sometimes I do find it is slightly laggy/slower when the campaigns are large in size but overall it is an essential tool for media planning & I have not used a different service in my entire career & I hope it stays that way! Media Ocean is very user friendly.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

User friendly, good UI that is easy to navigate & add or take things away from the campaigns. I love that all the tabs are easily organized in Prisma.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Sometimes when the campaigns are large it can cause the system to be slow. When we adjust specific months for units or rates it wont let us update due to the math within the system so we have to work around it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If they work in media planning or looking for an easy way to send out vendor invoices, tags, etc. It is easy to use & helps organize all components of our campaigns. It is an essential tool for my role.
