SUMMARY
From Reactive Chaos to Structured Scale — 1 to 14+ Accounts, Zero Makegoods
Atidiv partnered with a leading Australian digital media agency to take over paid media operations across a multi-brand eCommerce group and a national AUS & NZ retail account. The agency was struggling with missing QA on campaign setups, delayed weekly reporting, and no operational infrastructure to scale. With just 5 FTEs, Atidiv designed and implemented a two-step, budget-tiered QA framework, engineered a reporting rhythm that met a hard Monday 10:45 AM–1:00 PM AEST deadline, and built the SOPs and role structures needed to absorb high-volume, fast-turnaround eCommerce work. The result: 100% on-time delivery, zero makegoods since the QA framework went live, and growth from 1 to 14+ accounts under management.
| ENGAGEMENT CONTEXT
Partner: A leading Australian digital media agency. Scope: Paid media operations across a multi-brand eCommerce group and a national AUS & NZ retail account. |
CHALLENGE
Makegoods From Missing QA, Late Reports, and Operations That Couldn’t Scale
The agency was running high-velocity paid media operations without the QA structures, reporting discipline, or operational infrastructure to sustain growth. Three compounding problems were creating risk for end clients.
- Makegoods from missing QA: Setups went live with no second review or budget-linked sign-off; errors reached live campaigns and forced makegoods to end clients.
- Delayed weekly reporting: Four major accounts due every Monday, 10:45 AM–1:00 PM AEST, and reports were routinely late and insights inconsistent.
- Reactive, unscalable operations: High-velocity eCommerce promos with short TATs, but no SOPs, ownership model, or trackers to absorb the volume.
SOLUTION
A Two-Step QA Framework, an Engineered Reporting Rhythm, and Full Operations Coverage Built to Scale
Atidiv designed an end-to-end operational engine — from setup QA through to reporting delivery and scale — eliminating the gaps that were causing makegoods and missed deadlines.
Two-Step QA on Every Setup
Peer QA on the build, final QA before launch. Budget risks mitigated with a tiered approval model:
| Budget | Approval Tier |
| < $1K | Peer QA |
| $1K – $5K | Team Lead approval |
| > $5K | Assistant Manager approval |
Process Structure to Meet TAT
- Reports prepped and populated by Friday; Monday reserved only for final numbers, QA, and delivery — ensuring the hard 10:45 AM–1:00 PM AEST window was consistently met.
Full Operations Coverage
Bulk implementations, weekly/monthly reporting, Looker Studio dashboards, promo tracking, 3x-weekly pacing reviews, spend reconciliation, Shopify revenue tracking.
Designed to Scale
SOPs, role-based platform ownership, and client-specific training behind every workstream — so the same 5-FTE team could absorb account growth without quality degradation.
OUTCOME
100% On-Time Delivery, Zero Makegoods, and 14x Account Growth With the Same Team
By putting structured QA, disciplined reporting, and scalable operations in place, Atidiv transformed a reactive agency function into a high-throughput delivery engine — with measurable results across every operational metric.
| 100% | On-time delivery at defined TATs — incl. the Mon 10:45 AM–1:00 PM AEST reporting window |
| Zero | Makegoods since the two-step, budget-tiered QA framework went live |
| 1 → 14+ | Accounts under management: 2 flagship portfolios + 9 mid-sized accounts, with just 5 FTEs |
| Atidiv: The operational engine behind agency portfolios in the US & Australia, so agency teams stay focused on strategy and growth. |
