GLOSSARY

What is owned, earned and paid media?

DEFINITION

Owned media is what you control, such as your website and email list. Earned media is attention others give you, such as reviews and press. Paid media is attention you rent through ads.

The three differ in cost over time and control. Owned assets compound, earned attention is the most believable, and paid attention is the fastest but stops when spending stops.
