English term or phrase: Above the line / Below the line
I have a text to proofread which has been translated from German into English but only have the English version.

It is a marketing brochure for an IT Management Consultancy based in Germany.

It uses the phrases

Above the line / Below the line

Neither of these phrases mean anything to me and a direct translation back into German doesn't suggest anything. Any ideas? This headline is shown in a table with the following phrases displayed:

Above the line: Radio / TV. Print, Online

Below the line: Telemarketing, Direct Mailings, Public Relations...
