sMedia: Using AI for Instant Advertising Campaign Analysis, Optimizations, and More

By
Fluency Inc
October 27, 2025

Your advertising AI tools should do more than just give generalized, single-channel recommendations. See how Doug McArthur, Senior Digital Advertising Strategist at sMedia, uses Muse to cut out hours of manual filtering and experimentation to manage his clients' campaigns at scale.

Doug shares how he uses Muse within Fluency's Digital Advertising Operating System (DAOS) to: 

  • Bypass manual data analyses: Muse gives teams the "why" behind campaign performance, eliminating hours of digging through different data sources for analysis.
  • Diagnose conflicting ad configurations: Doug can ask Muse why a campaign isn't meeting performing expectations, helping him quickly identify configuration options or settings holding performance back.
  • Solve impression share concerns: When a client is concerned about low impression share, a quick Muse ask can either confirm or deny performance theories with multichannel data.
  • Maximize budget spend across his portfolio: Muse can quickly identify which campaigns are limited by their budget and which ones are pacing too slowly, helping optimize budget allocations across a client's multichannel strategy.
  • Proactively optimize based on market signals: Muse can compare clients of similar sizes, geographies, or goals to inform market performance. This gives Doug and his team data-backed validation to make adjustments that keep every client campaign optimized.
