Script 837: SBA Campaign Pacing
Purpose
The Python script optimizes budget allocation for marketing campaigns to minimize lost impression share due to budget constraints.
To Elaborate
The script addresses the challenge of efficiently allocating marketing budgets across various campaigns to minimize the loss of impression share due to budget limitations. It considers factors such as remaining budget, historical spending patterns, and the number of weekdays left in the month. The script aggregates data by Salesforce Item ID budget groups and calculates the full potential spend by adjusting historical spend based on lost impression share. It then determines the remaining budget for each campaign and allocates it proportionally based on calculated ratios. The script also ensures that the daily budget does not fall below a specified minimum threshold. By doing so, it aims to optimize the pacing of the budget throughout the month, ensuring that campaigns remain active and effective without exceeding budget constraints.
Walking Through the Code
- Initialization and Configuration
- The script begins by setting a configurable parameter,
MINIMUM_DAILY_BUDGET
, which users can adjust to set the minimum allowable daily budget for campaigns. - It checks whether the code is running on a server or locally, and if local, it loads data from a specified pickle file to initialize
dataSourceDict
.
- The script begins by setting a configurable parameter,
- Data Preparation and Aggregation
- The script processes the input data, converting necessary columns to appropriate data types and setting up the index for grouping.
- It calculates the full potential spend by adjusting historical spend based on lost impression share due to budget constraints.
- The script aggregates data by campaign and strategy, summing up metrics like clicks, conversions, and publisher costs.
- Budget Allocation and Adjustment
- It filters out inactive or expired campaigns and calculates the budget allocation ratio by capping full potential spend at twice the historical spend.
- The script calculates the remaining budget for each strategy group and allocates it to campaigns based on the calculated ratios.
- It computes the recommended daily budget by dividing the allocated budget by the remaining business days in the month, ensuring it meets the minimum daily budget requirement.
- Final Adjustments and Output Preparation
- The script identifies campaigns that should be trafficked and adjusts their daily budgets accordingly.
- It calculates pacing compliance percentages to ensure budget pacing aligns with expectations.
- Finally, the script checks for changes in budget allocations and prepares the output data frame for campaigns with updated budgets.
