Business Rationale for Assistant Analyst Activation Operations support:

• Inability to offshore certain accounts to GCC
  • USPS JAMRS & Navy Federal Credit Union identified as government accounts. These will need to be fully uploaded and revised by our onshore team with potential for this list to grow.
  • Tight SLAs - Certain accounts (like the Entertainment category) will have extremely tight turnaround times. For an emergency workflow faster than GCC SLAs will need to be processed onshore.
• Social Principle Deals
  • New media type for Orion activating in the principle-based buying approach. Social has already been a large task for the team. There has been a huge spike in volume already due to demand for savings on key platforms like Snapchat & TikTok.
• Prisma Maintenance
  • Dual Cost functionality not automatically selected so each line item needs maintenance prior to checking GCC work
  • Comparing IO received in Sellers and modifying monthly allocations for accuracy. Due to the two CPMs both calculating the billable & payable costs off of one impression number an exact match on the payable can cause a rounding error on the billable taking time for onshore teams to analyze and update.
  • Updating any discrepancies against GCC upload
• Vendor issues/correspondence
  • Since Orion is issuing the IOs we are the contacts for any issues with terms data or campaign details. If anything was sent incorrectly we now have to carve out extra time to provide feedback to the agency
• Orion communication
  • Orion to reach out to agency for plans and need alignment from Client Strategy and Investment prior to any IOs being issued
  • Maintenance of an Orion tracker for all buys to associate the Orion IO to the AOR IO and identify participating billings
  • Identifying billings in Prisma and making adjustments on the DT as buys are going through reconciliation
