It is built for marketers and agencies who run campaigns themselves. FOCUSADS supplies the people and process, plans offline media next to digital, and researches local media in every market it serves.

Where a company does not publish a fact, the page says “not publicly confirmed” rather than guessing, and each comparison names the buyers who would be better served by the alternative.
