Caribbean media inflation: reading the signal.

How we track CPM and CPP inflation across Caribbean markets, and why headline averages are usually misleading in markets this small.

by SMG Research

Why we publish this

Most regional media inflation figures are extrapolated from North American benchmarks. Ours are sourced from actual rate cards and paid placements across the territories we cover.

How to read small-market inflation

Small-market volatility means a single broadcaster’s rate reset can move a national average by several points. We report median, not mean, and flag any market where fewer than three properties set the curve.
