Dan Kelly of DISH Media Offers a Multi-Dimensional Media Plan for Holiday Marketing

To help brands, retailers and agencies plan their holiday media buying strategies, MediaVillage spoke to Dan Kelly, Director at DISH Media, about the need to take a multi-tiered approach to reach consumers; how to extend reach beyond consumers, and how to improve marketing ROI.
