About the Client

The client is a leading US-based digital marketing agency working with media, entertainment, and D2C brands. Managing over $50M in annual ad spend across Meta, Google, and Amazon Ads, they required a consolidated BI system to unify data, improve reporting turnaround, and support high-stakes media planning decisions.

Key Challenges

Disconnected datasets from Meta, Google, and Amazon made it difficult to compare and benchmark performance across platforms

Analysts spent significant time preparing client-facing reports, limiting time available for strategic insights

The absence of predictive models led to missed optimization opportunities and inefficient budget allocation

Our Approach

  • Built a cloud-native infrastructure on Google Cloud Platform, with BigQuery as the central data warehouse

  • Leveraged DataChannel to ingest, clean, and standardize advertising data across Meta, Google, and Amazon Ads

  • Created real-time campaign dashboards in Looker, tailored for media planners, analysts, and CXOs

  • Designed and deployed Python-based ML models to simulate ROAS outcomes, optimize spend, and guide strategic decisions

  • Built automated daily data pipelines with schema validation and QA checks

Advanced BI & Predictive Analytics
