How Much Is It Worth?
Ever wondered what the real price of media is? Our new weekly spot called How Much Is It Worth reveals both the ratecard price and what agencies really pay for it.
Today’s How Much Is It Worth asks how much it is to take out: the top promoted tweet for Game of Thrones; a poster on the back of a phonebox; an ad on the back of a glossy magazine; a news website takeover; and what is the De Rucci guy is paying for all those billboards.
$300 – A phonebox
Trams, buses. inside trains.
Interesting, thanks
what a great initiative, thanks Mumbrella
How much is a blimp like the beautiful dirigible that appliance online have.
Good article thanks Mumbrella.
How about:
taxis inside and out?
highest rating TV shows nationally ?
highest rated radio shows?
lift screens?
TV Spot in State of Origin
But how much do clients pay agencies for this stuff?
Taking the median price rather than the avg of all the prices would a better reflection of broad market value.
🙂
Shouldn’t this be titled “What does it cost?”.
Would not “worth” be a measurement of the results to the companies that spend this money for the placement?
I’d like to know how much it costs for 30 minutes of GEM at 3am for those crazy US religious programmes. If it’s reasonable I’ll start my own cult.
I’ll bet De Ruccii is paying nowhere near $20k for those sites. Presumably he’s a direct client and would have nailed down a good deal on unsold sites via good relationships, that’s what a majority of the industry is built on..
How about Mumbrella inventory across web and events?
Some of these are wildly inaccurate,
NineMSN/MSN homepage is $90K
Thanks for this.
More please!
Sources close to Appliances Online have told me that, all told, over $1 million has been spent on the blimp.
Good initiative, keep it going on an ongoing basis
This is an excellent initiative and it would be great if you could compare across capital and regional cities. Plus rates for TV across the board – FTA and Pay, morning, noon and night including 3am would be great!
How much for a Mumbrella EDM, and how does that stack up against Adnews/B&T?
I’d like to know how much it is to buy that ad space on BOM.gov.au. Very interested to know.
Excellent series of articles, cannot wait for more.
What did Lynchy pay to advertise his house for sale on the back page of The Spectator, that’s what I’d like to know? And did Nobby’s copy sell it?
You refer to how much the De Rucci ‘guy’ is paying for ‘his’ billboards, but the bigger question for me is…does he actually exist? Or did someone in marketing decide to find a stock photograph that looked a bit like a particularly haunting Steve Jobs?
Here’s the ‘Our Story’ section of their website…funny how little Mr De Rucci features in it…anyone else find it odd/phoney/bizarre…?

Good work Mumbrella, excellent initiative. Keep them coming!
Its interesting but a meaningless article really. Whilst Mumbrella would like to manage yield for all media nationally, rates across the board are set by supply and demand, nothing else. Also the “value” or “worth” of something is will change and is different for every client. How Much Is This Article Worth? $3.50
Hi $3.50,
Thanks for the comment. You’re right that rates will be determined by supply and demand – but taking an average across different agencies is a good way to get an idea for what the ‘going’ price is.
And we certainly don’t want to “manage the yield for all media nationally” – interesting to note your IP address seems to come from inside a major media player mentioned in this piece though.
Cheers,
Alex – editor, Mumbrella
