"During Q4 retail planning, our agency was managing $4.2M across 14 client media flowcharts. Our SageDoer VA updated every flighting grid, verified planned vs. delivered eCPMs, and matched Prisma billing orders. The dedicated PM audited every formula before client review. It saved our team 25 hours a week."
"We run high-frequency competitive ad intelligence for auto and CPG accounts. In under three days, our VA assembled Pathmatics and Kantar spend teardowns across six major competitors, surfacing flighting gaps and creative copy trends. Having the PM verify accuracy gives us bulletproof client decks."
"Month-end billing reconciliation used to be our team's worst nightmare. Our VA audits publisher invoices against CM360 impression counts, flags discrepancies over 5%, and secures publisher credit memos promptly. It eliminated billing leakages completely."
"Upwork freelancers couldn't distinguish an unactualized IO from an eCPM pacing alert, let alone manage Prisma line items. SageDoer matched us with an assistant who understood media planning math immediately. The free dedicated PM makes this 10x better than managing contractors myself."
