It also maps revenue streams, including advertising and distribution-related income, against key resources, activities, partnerships and cost structure. This is useful where audience attention, local market execution, sales capability, content rights, technology and regulatory compliance must work together.

Buyer power is relevant where advertisers and agencies compare audience reach, targeting and measurement alternatives.

Price concerns the logic used to value reach, placement, targeting, timing and campaign services rather than invented rate-card figures.
