Planning Tools

[michelle1303]

Hi All,

Just wondered if anyone had any great or new planning tools they could share?

I'm doing an exercise at the moment to see if there's anything my current agency aren't aware of out there re planning.

Can be comms, brand, account, media planning, anything in fact!

Be most grateful.

I also like http://www.quantcast.com/# for quick (and free) audience web site measurement.

And if you or your client is using Google Analytics, the beta benchmarking tool is great for answering that age old question, "how does that compare with industry stats?"
