Leave the Ad Ops to Us

Current Challenges with Ad Ops

Ad ops describes the systems used to execute digital ads. There are a lot of options, from self-serve programmatic solutions to highly sophisticated platforms that agencies use. The challenges with these systems, no matter how robust they are, could be keeping you from generating more sales.

Common issues include:

• Digital ad management only: These solutions are for digital ads only, so you have to keep linear separate, creating silos. That can make it difficult to present integrated campaigns, measure their impact and bill the client.
• Inability to build proposals: Traditional ad ops systems don’t have proposal functionality, so it becomes a manual process that takes too much time.
• Efficiency losses: Along with creating proposals outside the platform, your system probably isn’t a true end-to-end solution, which means you can’t consolidate processes like invoicing or reporting.
• Unclear reporting insights: Are the reports you run from your system helpful and easy to interpret? How limited are the types of reports you can create? With real-time reporting, you can make better decisions and optimize ad performance.
• Lack of transparency: Most solutions can’t deliver execution details, such as impressions, site lists, devices, geography and more. Having this is critical to understanding performance and relaying information to your advertisers.
• Invoicing and billing not integrated: If invoicing and billing are not part of the system, you have to do extra work just to get paid.
• Self-service that’s too complex: While promoted as “easy,” some platforms can require high technical acumen to use effectively.
• No support or training: Self-serve options that tie directly to the ad medium (e.g., Google Ads, Meta for Business) are notorious for being unresponsive. Other solutions may have support and training, but it comes at an extra cost.
• No campaign optimization features: This functionality makes it easy to tweak campaigns to ensure advertisers are getting the best return and more conversions.

If these problems sound all too familiar, you are ready for a change.
