Dynamically Allocate Budget to a Monthly Target (SBA)

How to set up SBA via MarinOne Scripts

Overview

Used for clients or prospects wishing to deploy a dynamic allocation of campaign daily budgets across a broader array of publishers than is currently available through Ascend Dynamic allocation.

Allocated budgets according to:

  • The remaining budget for each SBA Strategy budget group
  • Remaining days in the month
  • Historical spend and spend potential
  • Campaigns with spend in lookback period
  • Configurable Minimum Daily Budget

How it works

  • Map campaigns to a strategy with the SBA Strategy dimension
  • Set the budget for each strategy with the SBA Budget dimension
  • The script reviews spen pacing and campaign performance and adjusts the budget for each campaign. The allocation is based on Impression Share to Budget, Publisher Cost, Click Through Rate and average CPC
  • The script works across all publisher in Marin
  • Script does NOT adjust publisher or Marin bidding targets
