Proof
A copy of an advertisement as it will appear once produced or printed.

Frequency
The average number of times an audience is exposed to a specific advertising message over a period of time, typically four weeks.

Manager
Known for paying special attention to both a client's personal and financial needs, the manager assists in administrating an artists' personal business. Agents and managers share many of the same functions, but tend to fill very unique rolls. Managers usually work with smaller client lists, as they're known for providing more focused attention on the growth and development of a clients' career.

Arbitron
A broadcast rating service for television and radio that uses both a viewer diary method and an electronic recording and tabulating system to measure audience size and characteristics.

Audience Segmentation
The process of dividing up or grouping a target audience based on common characteristics related to behaviors or predictors of behavior, such as geographic region, demographics, psychographics, and product usage. Audience segmentation helps to target media messages and key strategies.

Use Fees
In paid broadcast advertising, the fees paid to performers used in television commercials or radio spots. The fee is based on the number of airplays and the number and size of media markets in which the advertisement will air. Use fees are paid in addition to holding fees.

Camera Ready
An ad, art, copy text or graphic ready for inclusion in publications.

Agent
A representative of talent, petitioning, on their behalf, for work within the filmmaking community. Agents, by law, have the right to both solicit employment and negotiate terms for the artists they represent. Not to be confused with Manager.

Rate Card
A card issued by an advertising medium listing its rates, requirements, and information needed from the advertiser.

Did You Know?    
 
 
The title of Option is a defined factor
When a creative entity, such as producer, artist, or studio, discovers a property and evaluates the rights status, they will, in most cases, attempt to negotiate an 'option' for the rights. An option is the right to acquire ownership of an intellectual property for a pre-determined amount of time. Size of the option payment often determines length of the agreement as well as how many forms of the rights will be included in the deal. While most option payments are subject to negotiation, script deals often work out to an even percentage of the purchase price.
