Media Connect

The relationship that you have with your advertisers is critical to the success of your business. Often they are your biggest fans. Media Connect, a Mediascape Platform Service, creates advertiser efficiencies, increases sales and above all, fosters loyalty from your advertisers. Media Connect enables you to provide your advertisers with a secure web portal that represents the unique brand and personality of your station or group and allows them to manage their own accounts by paying bills online, checking spot times and listening to creative media. Easy to use features allow them to access, print and pay invoices online, view spot schedules, listen to creative media and obtain exciting inside information from you about station promotions and announcements.

Media Connect is the only industry solution that improves the relationship with your advertisers by offering a unique, points-based loyalty program that incents customers to pay earlier, creating a significant reduction in days sales outstanding (DSO) and collections to make your organizations more profitable.

Media Connect is not currently available for clients in Canada.
