The Media Plan Proposal template is a five-page document for pitching a paid-media plan. It states the plan overview with flight, channel, and review-cadence stat cards, the objectives, the channels and flighting approach across three phases — test and learn, scale the winners, optimize and report — the management fees with a computed total, and an acceptance page.
In Bonsai you can rebalance the channel mix, change the flight length, and separate management fees from media spend billed at cost. Merge fields fill in the advertiser and date, and the acceptance page collects the PO number, launch date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
How is media spend handled? Management fees sit in the fee table; media spend is billed at cost against the plan the client approves, and the copy states that explicitly.
