What is Ad Ops exactly?
Ad Operations (Ad Ops) refers to the process of managing and optimizing digital advertising campaigns across various channels, including apps, websites, and social media platforms. Having a solid Ad Ops team in place will ensure that your ad campaigns are running smoothly and smashing ROAS goals.

We explain more about ad ops vs. programmatic advertising in one of the FAQs below.
Is Ad Ops the same as marketing reporting? How does Ad Ops work?
Marketing reporting is just one aspect of the digital ad operations ecosystem. The entire workflow includes:

1. Planning campaigns: Establishing clear and detailed outlines of campaign goals and KPIs.

2. Trafficking creatives: Developing compelling creatives (video ads, banner ads, e.t.c) and digital media, and strategically placing them across ad servers and ad networks like Google Ad Manager.

3. Scheduling launches: Launching ad campaigns at certain times on a given day of the week when the cost per conversion is the lowest and ad impressions will be at its peak.

4. Managing data: From benchmarking KPIs against campaign objectives to tracking top-line growth, ad operations teams oversee data and provide insights.

5. Marketing reporting: This is where the reporting part comes in. After collecting and processing data from disparate sources, AdOps will distribute reports across departments to help make sense of different performance stats and key metrics.

6. Optimizing ads: Figuring out what could be done to reduce wasted ad spend while maximizing ROAS.

7. Yield management: Rechanneling ad spend from losing campaigns to high-performing ones, building a robust media mix, and starting auction bidding & header bidding on ad exchanges.

8. Account management: Liaising between clients and ad agencies, from overseeing multiple accounts to troubleshooting issues.
How do I choose the right Ad Ops software for my company?
We get it – there are lots of marketing tools in the Ad Tech market, ranging from enterprise-level software like Salesforce’s Datorama, to more accessible tools like Adriel. How do you choose the right fit for your organization?

Here are three things to consider:

1. Comprehensive, easy integrations

Most dashboard software in the market allows you to connect with anywhere from 60 to 650+ advertising and marketing analytics platforms. The more connections, the better.

But it’s not just about the number of connections but also how easy it is to connect to these data sources. On Adriel, you can connect to 650+ data sources, ranging from ad accounts, eCommerce social platforms, and analytics tools–all in a matter of a few minutes - no coding required.
Plus, if you're enrolled in our enterprise or agency plans, a dedicated Customer Success Manager will guide you throughout the process.

2. Supports real-time data and custom alerts

Most dashboard software in the market will have set schedules at which they refresh the data that comes onto your dashboard.

But in a world where data is evolving every second, this is not enough to be truly on top of your client’s marketing campaigns.

Look for marketing software that not only streams real-time data but also automatically tracks all the data and alerts you whenever campaign metrics go above or below a certain KPI.

This would greatly reduce the time your account managers and marketing executives would have to spend going into each ad platform to make sure everything is on the right track, propelling faster decision-making.

3. Visualizes granular data

Most dashboard software can show you all the main KPIs at a glance. But what if you want to dive deep into the details of your marketing campaigns?

Choose software that not only visualizes KPIs but also shows you granular data down to the ad level and allows you to report back on headlines, CTAs, and ad copies that created value for your clients.

This kind of dashboard will let you A/B test natively on one platform and use this data to create more personalized and relevant ads.
Is Adriel the right tool for me?
If you’re often finding yourself limited by manual marketing tasks and would like to spend more time on insights and growth, we’ve got you covered. What we do best at Adriel is automate redundant processes to give you time back and allow everyone to get more out of their day.

There are many tools on the market but we like to think that we’re the best value for money. You can check out how Adriel compares to 15+ other Ad Operations software here.
How much should I expect to pay for an Ad Ops tool?
The cost of a marketing report tool will depend on:
  • Number of integrations
  • Number of data rows
  • Frequency of data refresh (e.g. real-time or every 24 hours)
  • Size of data storage
  • Number of dashboards / reports
  • Number of clients
Pricing can fall anywhere between US$99 - $5,000. Enterprise-grade tools like Datorama and Tableau are more expensive but they also offer more horsepower and functionality.

Agency-focused reporting tools are leaner, although some offer "add-on" plans for features like white-labeling that leaves companies paying for far more than anticipated.

Adriel's pricing is tailored to multiple businesses. See this page to learn more about our plans.
Why should I choose Adriel?
Five reasons:
  • You can connect to over 650 data sources.
  • You get real-time reports every time you log into your dashboard. No manual data refreshes required.

What is the difference between Ad Ops and programmatic advertising?
AdOps is not to be confused with programmatic advertising. Programmatic advertising is a type of digital advertising that uses ad servers, SSPs, DSPs, and ad exchanges to automate the buying and selling of ad inventory.

What Ad Ops software does is aggregate and clean all the data from these programmatic ads and visualize key insights for optimization. You cannot buy, sell, or run ads on an ad ops platform - you can only manage and adjust them. It's essentially an automation platform for monitoring and ad optimization.
How do I create a marketing report?
The key to creating an effective marketing report is to strategically connect the dots between business, value, and data. In other words: show exactly how much value is being generated from a particular marketing campaign, in terms of revenue, conversions, or engagement.

Here are three easy steps to do this:

1. Establish a KPI framework

From the very get-go, pick three to five KPIs to display on your dashboard that are simple to explain and understand. If you can’t explain each of these KPIs with a short title, they’re already too complex for others in the organization.

Most reporting software let you drag-and-drop widgets to display KPIs in various ways. For instance, on Adriel’s customizable marketing dashboard, you can create widgets for single KPIs or compare them against one period to another to visualize trends.

In addition, you’ll also be able to pit one KPI against another (e.g. ad spend against link clicks) and visualize relationships between KPIs in any graph type on Adriel.

2. Create data stories

Once you’ve decided on the KPIs, add a few sentences at the top of the dashboard describing key insights with the metric name, numbers, and percent changes in brackets. These are called data stories.

For example:

[YouTube Ads] garnered [#link clicks] leading to [#signups] for the waitlist.
[Ad spend] fell by [% change] this month due to [reason].
[%] of users returned to our website this month. Our goal was [%].

You can use this same format for every report you create and just fill in the brackets or change up the metrics according to your marketing goals.

Data stories add a great deal of context to bare-bone metrics, allowing executives to grasp the important details in one glance and make data-driven decisions.

Different executives and teams will be reading these data stories so they should be straight-to-the-point and self-explanatory. Anticipate their questions and include short and concise methodology descriptions when necessary.

On Adriel’s dashboard, you can simply drag and drop a “Notepad” widget to write data stories.

3. Organize your data intuitively

You should structure your executive dashboards the way you write stories—with a clear beginning, middle, and end.

Divide your dashboard into three levels: top, middle, and bottom.

At the top, include:

Your brand / client’s visuals (name, logo, taglines)
Data stories
An overview of KPIs for the month or compared with a specific time period
The middle section should analyze these KPIs in more detail:

Performance trends visualized in different types of graphs
Relationships between one KPI and another
Causes and effects
Finally, wrap up the dashboard with granular data:

Marketing mix
Details of ad campaigns
Ad creative insights (e.g. ad copy, photos, videos)
Analysis of creative intelligence (e.g. keywords, colors, emojis)

See how all of this strategy works in real-life with marketing report examples.
What kind of charts and graphs should I use to visualize my data?
We recommend these data visualization widgets and graph types:
  • Bar charts
  • Funnel charts
  • Scatter plot graphs
  • Notepad widgets
  • Single metric widgets
  • Creative widgets
  • Draggable widgets
  • Resizable widgets
  • Color clustering
  • Word clouds
Check out this blog post for examples.
Which metrics should I track on my dashboard?
These are the most common metrics that marketers track on their digital dashboards:

1. Revenue
2. Ad spend
3. Return on ad spend
4. Impressions
5. Cost-per-click (CPC)
6. Click-through rate (CTR)
7. Cost-per-view (CPV)
8. Conversion rates
9. Cost-per-conversion (CPCV)
