Background

By4M Studio started operating as an advertising agency in 2017 and has since expanded into eCommerce, publishing, and music markets by acquiring intellectual property.

The Studio’s branding and marketing expertise has enabled them to acquire and scale multiple brands and 20X their revenue in the past 5 years. By4M Studio’s mission is to help businesses leverage technology to enhance their operations, increase efficiency, and drive growth with tailored high-quality solutions.

Challenges

Ensuring Bookkeeping Accuracy

By4M's team specializes in marketing and primarily operates in digital advertising. This means that account managers must monitor several dozens of ad accounts on a daily basis.

Daily tracking of ad spend and cash flows was particularly important, but as the company grew, it became increasingly challenging to oversee operations as a whole. While the company's portfolio expanded, it became necessary to automate certain tasks to ensure accuracy at all times without overwhelming the team.

Additionally, the rapid expansion of the scale of By4M’s operations led to difficulties with ad performance and limited the ability to optimize campaigns due to the time being spent on manual bookkeeping tasks. Stakeholders were also impacted as data was stored in spreadsheets, making it challenging to analyze and identify trends.

We have dozens of ad accounts, spending large advertising budgets. It was becoming a challenge for us to manually keep track of all investments accurately for our monthly and annual reports.
