Planning models · 2027 / Pool vs Location Domination

Pool for reach. Location Domination for precision.

Every FACES campaign is planned one of two ways — or both at once. Here's what each model does, when to choose which, and how they combine. From 2027, both plan by week.

Model 01

Pool campaign planning

Buy the audience.

Pool planning is automated. You set the region, the number of locations, and the timing — the system builds the placement that maximises reach and impressions across that region. You choose how much of a region to own. We optimise which frames deliver it.

Choose Pool when

  • The goal is awareness — you need the most people to see the campaign, not specific people in specific places.
  • The brief names a region — "everyone in the North", "island-wide", "the commuter belt".
  • Reach per euro matters most — automated placement is the most cost-efficient route to frequency.

A typical Pool brief

"A four-week awareness push across Central North — as much reach as the budget buys."

Model 02

Location Domination

Buy the ground.

Location Domination is precise. You hand-pick the frames for a specific area, audience or demographic — and those exact frames are yours for the campaign. Target gardens, schools, beaches, businesses — down to the frame beside the grocery store.

Choose Location Domination when

  • You know where your audience is — parents at school gates, tourists on the seafront, shoppers at a retail park.
  • Place is the message — presence outside your own store, your competitor's, or "300 m ahead on the left".
  • A catchment is the market — a locality, a route, a neighbourhood you need to own outright.

A typical Location Domination brief

"Every frame within walking distance of our three outlets, plus the school run routes around them."

The combination — where most large campaigns land

A Pool base for reach. A Location Domination overlay where it matters most.

The two models are built to work together. An island-wide Pool campaign carries the awareness; a Location Domination overlay dominates the ground around your stores, your season, your audience. One campaign, one report — reach where you need everyone, precision where you need someone.
