The Paid Media Warehouse, connected.

One Azure warehouse fed by every advertising platform the Brand Marketing Paid Media team runs, refreshed on a schedule and reported in Power BI. This is what the monthly close looks like when nobody opens Excel.

What this board answers

Three questions the paid media team asks every month — answered from the warehouse, not a spreadsheet

Channel ranking · cost per site visit

Every platform on one cost basis, so The Trade Desk and Google Ads finally sit on the same row

Where the site's visits come from — anchored to the published FY2025 figures

The connector layer

Every platform → scheduled ingestion → one Azure warehouse → Power BI. Highlighted paths carry the channels selected above; row counts are illustrative daily loads.

Monthly close, automated

The RFP goal in one strip: eliminate manual monthly extraction from disparate advertising platforms

Was

Manual monthly extraction from each platform into Excel.

  • Six platform exports, six formats, one analyst
  • Trade Desk and Google in the warehouse; Sprinklr, Later and social still by hand
  • Metrics defined differently in every tab
  • Vulnerable to a broken link, a renamed column, a sick day
Now

Scheduled refresh — the warehouse pulls, Power BI publishes.
