Agree the audience and the outcome.

Before a campaign, agree the channels, publication dates, usage rights and what will be reported. Any audience figures included in a proposal should identify the channel, measurement period and source. Historic numbers in old articles are not presented as current reach.

A commissioned feature will be identified where it appears. The agreed scope and quote determine the work; publication does not promise search rankings, bookings or a particular sales result.
