Agility PR Solutions maintains a large, validated dataset across all major media types — print, magazines, broadcast, and online. All publication data is consistently reviewed by Agility's media analysts to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Below is the full methodology Agility uses to calculate impressions, audience reach, circulation, and AVE.
🔹 Agility’s Media Data Overview
Agility’s database includes:
Print publications (newspapers, magazines)
Online sources (websites, blogs)
Broadcast stations (radio & TV)
News outlets from around the world
All impressions, reach values, and AVE metrics follow consistent, industry-standard methodology.
🔹 Print Publications
Circulation / Reach
Circulation values for daily and community newspapers come directly from each publication’s media kit and represent the audience reach.
Print AVE Calculation
Agility uses the publication’s full-page ad rate, then calculates the equivalent value of the article:
Formula:
Ad rate per word × Number of words in the article
This provides the ad value of that specific print mention.
🔹 Magazines
Magazine data comes from:
Publication rate cards
Media kits
Public circulation data
Magazines use the same AVE formula as print:
Full-page ad rate per word × Number of article words
🔹 Broadcast (TV & Radio)
Agility provides audience reach and publicity/ad value for major TV and radio stations.
Where values come from:
Vendor-provided data (reach + ad rate)
If vendor data is unavailable:
Agility calculates estimated values based on:Comparable reference stations
Public, industry-standard data
Historical trend data
This ensures every broadcast mention receives:
An audience reach score
An AVE value
Even if direct vendor data was unavailable.
🔹 Online Publications
Audience Reach
Agility uses Monthly Unique Visitors (MUV) as the reach metric.
Data is sourced from Similarweb, the industry standard for web traffic analytics.
Online AVE Calculation
The calculation uses a standard CPM of $25 (cost per thousand impressions), based on internal research across hundreds of websites.
Formula:
$25 × (Average Daily Visitors ÷ 1,000)
Example
If a website has 100,000 average daily visitors:
$25 × (100,000 ÷ 1,000) = $2,500 AVE
