TL;DR — Key Outcomes
  • Managed end-to-end performance reporting pipelines across 5+ tier-1 corporate brand campaigns.
  • Reduced client reporting turnaround time by 40% using automated formula-driven templates.
  • Replaced disparate, manual creator logs with standardized multi-channel Excel dashboards.

1. The Problem

Mad Influence managed high-velocity influencer marketing campaigns spanning dozens of creators across Instagram and YouTube simultaneously. However, performance data arrived in disparate formats — manual screenshots, varying timestamp exports, and unverified engagement metrics. The lack of standardized reporting meant account teams spent excessive hours manually assembling decks, causing delays in executive client reporting.

2. The Approach

To eliminate recurring bottlenecks, I designed a repeatable analytics pipeline:

  • Telemetry Aggregation: Unified raw impressions, reach, views, and engagement metrics into a structured master database.
  • Automated Calculation Models: Leveraged nested lookup formulas and dynamic references to automate CPM, CPV, and engagement rate computations.

3. The Process

Phase 1: Ingestion & Sanitization

Structured an ingestion sheet with strict data validation to prevent formatting mismatches from multiple agency coordinators.

Phase 2: Template Standardization

Built executive summary views that auto-populated key charts, creator benchmarks, and deliverables status upon entering raw metrics.

4. The Analysis

Audited campaign performance pacing to provide actionable insights to brand managers:

Platform-Level Efficiency

Benchmarked cost per engagement between YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels to guide allocation of mid-campaign budget surpluses.

Creator Cohort Performance

Segmented influencer tiers by historical conversion efficiency to optimize future brand partner casting decisions.

5. Business Outcome

Delivered Results

  • 40% Reduction in Reporting Turnaround: Client reports that previously took 2 full working days were generated within hours of campaign close.
  • Zero Metric Discrepancies: Formula automation eliminated manual data calculation errors across 5+ high-visibility brand audits.
