The Ad-Me-Sim model describes a decision system for selecting the appropriate media vehicles for a given advertising message. Five sets of weekly and cumulative outputs are used as criteria for determining which vehicles are most appropriate. The model also contains a heuristic subroutine that suggests appropriate media schedules when given the advertising goals of the user.
