CTV Media Buying Launch Coordinator
AI-assisted planning and coordination for programmatic CTV media buys, reducing manual work between agencies and supply-side platforms during campaign launch.
The Problem
“Manual coordination slows programmatic CTV campaign launch”
Organizations face these key challenges:
Campaign requirements arrive in unstructured formats
Agency and SSP teams use disconnected tools and communication channels
Inventory availability and pricing change during planning
Approvals and revisions create repeated manual rework
Impact When Solved
The Shift
Human Does
- •Review campaign briefs, emails, and planning documents to identify targeting, budget, flight dates, and inventory needs
- •Coordinate with agency and SSP counterparts to compare inventory options, pricing assumptions, and campaign constraints
- •Revise spreadsheets and planning documents as requirements, availability, and approvals change
- •Confirm final media plan, secure stakeholder approvals, and enter campaign details into buying and trafficking systems
Automation
- •No significant AI support in the legacy planning and launch workflow
Human Does
- •Approve the recommended media plan, pricing posture, and inventory selections before launch
- •Resolve exceptions involving conflicting requirements, unavailable inventory, or policy-sensitive negotiation decisions
- •Review approval requests and confirm final campaign readiness for activation
AI Handles
- •Ingest unstructured briefs, emails, and planning inputs to generate a standardized campaign summary and launch checklist
- •Recommend audience, inventory mix, budget allocation, pacing assumptions, and launch dependencies based on campaign requirements and constraints
- •Monitor inventory, pricing, and stakeholder updates to surface conflicts, track revisions, and coordinate next-step actions
- •Route approvals, maintain launch readiness status, and prepare structured handoff data for campaign setup and activation
