Script 865: Budget Capped Campaigns

Purpose

The Python script identifies campaigns where the previous day’s spending is at least 90% of the daily budget and flags them as “Budget Capped” if certain conditions are met.

To Elaborate

The script is designed to monitor advertising campaigns by analyzing their spending relative to their daily budget. It specifically tags campaigns as “Budget Capped” when the spending for the previous day reaches or exceeds 90% of the allocated daily budget. Additionally, it considers other factors such as the ‘iDNE’ value and ‘Lost Impression Share’ percentage to determine if a campaign should be flagged. This helps in identifying campaigns that are at risk of exceeding their budget, allowing for timely adjustments to prevent overspending and optimize budget allocation.

Walking Through the Code

  1. Data Preparation
    • The script begins by converting the ‘iDNE’ column to numeric values to ensure accurate calculations. This step handles any non-numeric entries by coercing them into NaN values.
  2. Calculation of Ratios
    • It calculates the ratio of ‘Pub Cost’ to ‘Daily Budget’ for each campaign to determine how much of the budget has been spent. This ratio is stored in a new column ‘Pub Cost / Budget’.
  3. Budget Cap Alert Logic
    • A threshold of 0.90 is set, which can be adjusted by the user. The script checks if the ‘Pub Cost / Budget’ ratio is at least 90% and if ‘iDNE’ is less than 1.5. Additionally, it checks if the ‘Lost Impression Share’ is greater than 10%. If all conditions are met, the campaign is flagged with a “Budget Capped” alert.
  4. Output Preparation
    • The script filters the relevant columns (‘Account’, ‘Campaign’, ‘Budget Alert’) and prepares them for output, providing a concise view of campaigns that require attention.
