Abstract

A system is provided for cross-platform proposal creation, optimization, and deal management. The system generates a proposal plan corresponding to a distribution of target audience across a set of delivery platforms based on an adjustment of a request parameter associated with a request. The proposal plan is executed for a first time period in a flight on a first delivery platform from the set of delivery platforms based on a plurality of client-defined requirements corresponding to the request. The proposal plan is optimized for a second time period in the flight by an in-flight re-distribution of the target audience across the set of delivery platforms. Execution of the optimized proposal plan is controlled for the second time period in the flight on the first delivery platform.

Claims (31)

1. A system comprising memory and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:

generate a proposal plan associated with a plurality of proposal parameters and a distribution of a target audience across a set of delivery platforms of a plurality of delivery platforms;

receive consumption data associated with an execution of the proposal plan during a first duration a total duration of network time, wherein the consumption data is associated with multiple delivery platforms of the plurality delivery platforms;

generate an adjusted proposal plan based at least in part on the consumption data and by updating the distribution of the target audience across the set of delivery platforms to align with the plurality of proposal parameters; and

initiate execution of the adjusted proposal plan during a second duration of the total duration of network time.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more delivery platforms comprises those delivery platforms of the plurality of delivery platforms selected in accordance with the plurality of proposal parameters.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein a delivery platform of the plurality of delivery platforms comprises a linear delivery platform, a mobile delivery platform, or a digital delivery platform.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of proposal parameters comprises one or more of a budget, the total duration of network time, the target audience, or an objective.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the objective comprises one of a requested distribution of the target audience in the set of delivery platforms, an expected outcome criteria that indicates a reach to a threshold number of users of the target audience within the budget, a cost efficiency criteria to achieve the objective, a gross impressions criteria, or a receptivity criteria.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of proposal parameters is associated with one or more of a reach of a brand, a cause, a service, a campaign to the target audience, or a specific number of impressions from the target audience.

7. The system of claim 2 , wherein generating the proposal plan is based at least in part on a first predictive model configured to predict a count of users across the set of delivery platforms over the total duration of network time.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the adjusted proposal plan is based at least in part on actual delivery of content during the first duration of network time.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein generating the proposal plan comprises estimating available capacity across the plurality of delivery platforms in accordance with the plurality of proposal parameters.

10. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

generate a proposal plan associated with a plurality of proposal parameters and a distribution of a target audience across one or more delivery platforms of a plurality of delivery platforms;

receive consumption data associated with an execution of the proposal plan during a first duration a total duration of network time, wherein the consumption data is associated with multiple delivery platforms of the plurality delivery platforms;

generate an adjusted proposal plan based at least in part on the consumption data and by updating the distribution of the target audience across the set of delivery platforms to align with the plurality of proposal parameters; and

initiate execution of the adjusted proposal plan during a second duration of the total duration of network time.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 10 , wherein the one or more delivery platforms comprise those delivery platforms of the plurality of delivery platforms selected in accordance with the plurality of proposal parameters.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 10 , wherein a delivery platform of the plurality of delivery platforms comprises a linear delivery platform, a mobile delivery platform, or a digital delivery platform.

13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of proposal parameters comprises one or more of a budget, the total duration of network time, the target audience, or an objective.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 13 , wherein the objective comprises one of a requested distribution of the target audience in the set of delivery platforms, an expected outcome criteria that indicates a reach to a threshold number of users of the target audience within the budget, a cost efficiency criteria to achieve the objective, a gross impressions criteria, or a receptivity criteria.

15. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of proposal parameters is associated with one or more of a reach of a brand, a cause, a service, a campaign to the target audience, or a specific number of impressions from the target audience.

16. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 10 , wherein generating the proposal plan is based at least in part on a first predictive model configured to predict a count of users across the set of delivery platforms over the total duration of network time.

17. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 10 , wherein generating the adjusted proposal plan is based at least in part on actual delivery of content during the first duration of network time.

18. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media of claim 10 , wherein generating the proposal plan comprises estimating available capacity across the plurality of delivery platforms in accordance with the plurality of proposal parameters.

19. A computer-implemented method comprising:

generating, by one or more processors, a proposal plan associated with a plurality of proposal parameters and a distribution of a target audience across one or more delivery platforms of a plurality of delivery platforms;

receiving, by the one or more processors, consumption data associated with an execution of the proposal plan during a first duration a total duration of network time, wherein the consumption data is associated with multiple delivery platforms of the plurality delivery platforms;

generating, by the one or more processors, an adjusted proposal plan based at least in part on the consumption data and by updating the distribution of the target audience across the set of delivery platforms to align with the plurality of proposal parameters; and

initiating, by the one or more processors, execution of the adjusted proposal plan during a second duration of the total duration of network time.
