Media kits were built for people with time

Finance media is hundreds of trade publications, newsletters and podcasts, each with its own PDF kit, ad rep and "rates on request". Planning a year means emailing them one by one, then turning subscribers, downloads and open rates into numbers you can compare. An agent can't do that from a PDF.

Rates hide in PDFs and inboxes

The numbers that decide a plan live in attachments, decks and email threads, and change without notice.

Every outlet counts differently

Subscribers, opens, downloads, uniques. Gross or net. Flat fee or CPM. None of it lines up without work.

Nobody says how old a number is

A 2024 audience survey and last month's audit look the same on a rate card. Your plan inherits the difference.

One brief in. A bookable plan out.

No database to sort through. Your agent asks, Rare Audience answers with a plan, and the booking goes to each outlet for you.

Your agent sends a brief

Audience, budget, dates and channels, in the words your planner already uses. The agent turns them into a structured brief.

Rare Audience plans it

Every placement is ranked on cost per thousand of your target audience, then the budget is split under per-outlet caps and checked against inventory for your dates. The same brief always gets the same answer.

Your agent books it

Approve the plan and the agent requests the buy. Each outlet confirms, counters or declines from one email, and the status comes back to your agent.

Priced per reader you actually want

A big list looks cheap until you count who's on it. Rare Audience divides each price by the share of the audience that matches your brief, so a small, focused newsletter can beat a list twenty times its size.

Every number shows its source

Each rate and audience figure carries the document it came from, the date, and how much to trust it. Your agent can tell an audit from a guess, and so can your CFO.

Rates older than 90 days and audience data older than 180 days are flagged in every answer.
Outlets that don't publish their audience mix are assumed to be a weak fit until they do. Hiding data never outranks showing it.
Each outlet's compliance rules, prohibited categories and creative review times come with the plan.

For outlets: free to list, and you pay only for new advertisers

Rare Audience is the sales agent for publishers, newsletters and podcasts that will never run their own. Advertisers' agents find you by audience, not by who has the biggest sales team.

Only on advertisers new to you

The fee applies to confirmed media when the advertiser hasn't bought from you in the last 24 months. Repeat business is 0%.

One email, no new dashboard

Each booking request arrives by email with links to confirm, counter or decline. The email says up front whether a fee applies.

Rankings are never for sale

Placement depends on price, audience fit and evidence. Publishing audited numbers is the only way to rank higher.
