The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In advertising, media planners are expected to stay ahead of every trend, competitor move, and tech innovation. That means pulling articles from Adweek, Campaign, and eMarketer, then summarizing and comparing them in Excel or Notion. The manual reading, highlighting, and note-taking eats up valuable time that could be spent optimizing buys or meeting with clients.
