01 / The challenge

Where the time was going

  1. 01Strategists spent more time assembling campaigns and building reports than thinking about strategy. Every client report was rebuilt by hand each month from data scattered across ad platforms and analytics.
  2. 02Campaign setup was repetitive and error-prone: the same structures, naming conventions, and QA checks done manually for every client.
  3. 03Margins suffered because senior people did production work, and capacity was capped by how many reports a human could build.

02 / The build

What we shipped

We automated the production and reporting layer so strategists could focus on strategy.

  1. 01Templated campaign assemblyCampaigns are assembled from the agency's templates with naming and structure enforced automatically.
  2. 02Automated QAPre-launch checks run automatically and flag issues before spend goes live.
  3. 03Self-generating reportsClient reports build themselves from live ad and analytics data on a schedule, in the agency's format.
  4. 04Anomaly alertsSpend and performance anomalies are surfaced immediately instead of being caught at month-end.

03 / The results

What changed

The agency grew capacity without growing headcount.

Strategists now run twice the campaigns each because reporting and assembly no longer eat their week. Reporting time dropped 90%, and anomalies are caught in real time rather than at month-end, which protects client spend.

Reporting went from three days a month to something that's just done. We sell strategy now, not spreadsheets.
