Media Buying Software from MediaLink Software

Academy

Media Link Software was founded on the principle that there needs to be a platform that embraces the diverse strategies modern media buyers employ to achieve their stakeholders' goals. Our fundamental belief in the power of analysis is built through Media Link Software — MLS 2.0, especially.

We make education a priority through training and support programs, as well as internships. We also support scientific media-planning studies in higher education.

Media Link Software 2.0 presented us with the opportunity to assemble the resources we've gathered over the years to create a library for buyers who are looking to improve their craft. This library offers everything from basic terminology to unusual tactics — all in one space.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions or comments; we are always happy to chat.
