About the Session:

Best Practices in Multi-platform Digital Media

The role of Ad Operations is rapidly evolving as it acts as the “Engine Room” in terms of revenue delivery and optimization. Ad operations is not just about trafficking advertisements but about helping execution, customer service and business direction. Data drives our understanding of business operations and it is the ad operations teams that are holding those important data sets to inform business strategy. Aligning Ad Operations with other areas of a business, such as finance to exact operational excellence will enhance the performance of the business.  For businesses to benefit they need to re-evaluate the importance of the roles and functions involved in ad operations and position them accordingly.
