Optimized delivery of advertising material: How performance agencies can save up to 125,000€ annually

In the world of performance marketing, speed is decisive for success. Campaigns that don't start on time lose valuable reach and sales potential. But one crucial process is slowing down many performance marketing agencies: the delivery of advertising material by creation agencies or directly from advertising clients.

As a performance marketing agency, you are under constant pressure to deliver high-quality advertising campaigns quickly and efficiently.

In the world of performance marketing, speed is decisive for success. Campaigns that don't start on time lose valuable reach and sales potential. But one crucial process is slowing down many performance marketing agencies: the delivery of advertising material by creation agencies or directly from advertising clients.

Format errors, unclear specifications and endless correction loops cause delays and high costs. Inefficient coordination costs fast per campaign between 940€ and 1.250€ — with 100 campaigns per year, this adds up to up to 125,000€ in unnecessary expenses.

The biggest stumbling blocks when delivering advertising material

1. Technical requirements are not met

  • Digital advertising platforms such as Google, Meta, or TikTok have specific requirements for image sizes, video lengths, and text restrictions.
  • Creation agencies or advertising clients who do not work with these platforms on a daily basis often overlook details or deliver inappropriate formats.

2. Multiple revisions result in loss of time

  • Advertising material must be checked by the performance marketing agency and returned in case of errors.
  • This triggers a flood of emails with inquiries and correction instructions.

3. Campaign starts are delayed

  • Since performance campaigns are often tied to specific launch data, delays lead to budget losses and inefficient media buying.
  • In some cases, faulty advertising material still has to go live, which worsens campaign performance.

Cost factor: Let's calculate that

On average, a campaign comprises 75 advertising materials.

  • Control, feedback and correction loops take approximately for each faulty advertising medium 30 minutes.
  • Experience has shown that approx. 1/3 of the advertising material is faulty. That means 25 advertising materials need improvements per campaign.
  • That results in 12.5 hours additional effort per campaign.
  • At an hourly rate of 75-100 € Create for a Performance Marketing Manager 940€ extra costs per campaign.
  • Extrapolated to 100 campaigns per year: up to 125,000€ unnecessary costs.

Why traditional solutions don't work

  • Specification lists are impractical: They are overlooked, are often out of date or too complicated.
  • Training is expensive and ineffective: Agencies have a high turnover rate and knowledge is quickly lost.
  • Manual testing is inefficient: Advertising material must be checked by hand and corrected several times.
