Our ad ops services include: building creative spec sheets, generating third-party ad server (3PAS) tags, implementing tags and creatives in demand side platforms (DSPs), installing conversion pixels and creating conversion events, supply-side deal routing, remarketing list and digital audience creation, quality assurance and other applicable media trafficking and asset configuration tasks.

MEDIA ACTIVATION

Mufasa executes hands-on-keyboard campaign management across the following types of campaigns. 

We can manage media in direct platforms (e.g. Facebook Ads, Google Ads) or we can activate out of your licensed DSP or applicable buying software.

REPORTING, ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION

Mufasa can be of service to map out thorough measurement plans + data tracking requirements, design report templates and build analytics dashboards. With report template design, we will advise on recommended baseline metrics and how to best frame those metrics together so reports are deeply insightful, efficient to analyze and effective in yielding conclusive learnings.  We can also function as an interim reporting service where we pull, aggregate, and populate data into your recurring report deliverables. In reports, we will do the analysis work for you and provide rolled up summaries and optimization recommendations to save your team time. Mufasa Executives can also assist in creating important presentations for your monthly, quarterly, or annual business reviews. 

PROGRAMMATIC PROJECT MANAGEMENT

We will function as a flexible extension of your team taking on fluid or fixed responsibilities depending on the scope of your needs. Whether you desire for us to operate as a back office support to your internal team or (if applicable) prefer to put us in client-facing engagements, our role is entirely moldable to whatever will serve most useful for you. Prior to our departure, we guarantee a comprehensive transition plan so we can shift workload back to internal teams with no disruption to day-to-day business operations.

ON-CALL PROGRAMMATIC SUPPORT

Mufasa’s on-call programmatic support is an always-on help line available to assist your teams with a variety of media related needs. This solution is especially helpful for agencies or brands who are actively managing their own self-service campaigns and desire to have one singular resource for on-demand expertise across multiple biddable medias and platforms. Our on-call support can be available for: technical troubleshooting, media plan ideation, isolated platform trainings, custom report pulls, impromptu out of office coverage and more.

PROGRAMMATIC KNOWLEDGE ENABLEMENT

An in-house programmatic capability is one where the ad tech stack is owned and operated by the agency or brand. While it is an excellent goal to pursue, a functional operation takes time, resources and detailed planning to successfully execute. For agencies or brands seeking a guided path to build an in-house programmatic team, Mufasa is here at your service. Our Executives will also train your team while simultaneously covering live campaign management in order to ensure a smooth and successful transition to self-service. Programmatic knowledge enablement is also available in other training forms including programmatic 101, 201 (etc.) education for technical and/or non-technical teams.
