    Course Description

    This half-day Fast Track training session is designed for both ad operations managers and other personnel in related internet divisions, who want to acquire a knowledge of “best practices” in workflow. It is common for knowledge on ad operations to be compartmentalized – with ad traffickers understanding their job, inventory management understanding theirs, and finance focused in invoicing and billing.

    Conversely, there are few individuals who understand the entire workflow involved in ad operations, and even fewer companies who bother to document it. This course will furnish attendees with a fuller knowledge of the end to end processes in ad operations.

    Who should attend?:
    This course will be beneficial to mid-level ad operations staff, ranging from individuals who have been in ad ops/trafficking for 3 months to 2 years.

    Benefits of Attending:

  • Gain a solid understanding of the impact the Ad Ops workflow has on the bottom line
  • Uncover "Best Practices" for workflow and processes for proposals and reservations, within the contract stage, for both internal and external client communication, during campaign launch and billing

    Course Concepts:
  • Supplying creative solutions to inventory problems
  • Gatekeeping functions related to pricing, packaging and legal compliance
  • Compliance
  • Creative handling, testing and QA
  • Trafficking
  • Monitoring
  • Optimization
  • Reporting
  • Order Management at order entry
  • Revenue accuracy for billing
