Company Description

Techne Media specializes in helping clients reach their audiences across multiple screens with data-informed planning and execution. Techne’s approach is one that replaces the decades-old mindset of traditional and digital advertising planning, and adopts one that asks simply “where is my audience, and how can I reach them?” This screen agnostic approach is built on data, not instinct. Through utilizing public and proprietary data, Techne plans and places media based on an audience’s media consumption habits, psychographic data, and the effectiveness of an impression.
