Script 921: Bidding Strategy Assignment

Purpose:

The Python script automates the assignment of advertising campaigns to specific bidding strategies based on their creation date.

To Elaborate

The script is designed to manage the assignment of advertising campaigns to different bidding strategies based on how long they have been active. Specifically, it assigns newly created campaigns (within the first 7 days) to a strategy called “Data Gathering” and older campaigns (more than 7 days old) to a strategy called “Performance Bidding”. This is achieved by checking the creation date of each campaign and updating the strategy and a folder check indicator accordingly. The script processes a DataFrame containing campaign data, modifies it based on these rules, and outputs the updated DataFrame.

Walking Through the Code

  1. Data Preparation:
    • The script begins by copying the input DataFrame to avoid modifying the original data.
    • It converts the ‘Campaign Creation Date’ column to datetime objects to facilitate date comparisons.
  2. Strategy Assignment Logic:
    • The script iterates over each row in the DataFrame.
    • For each campaign, it calculates the number of days since its creation.
    • If the campaign is within 7 days of its creation date, it assigns the “Data Gathering” strategy and leaves the “Folder Check” column blank.
    • If the campaign is older than 7 days, it assigns the “Performance Bidding” strategy and sets the “Folder Check” column to “YES”.
  3. Output:
    • The script prints the changes made to the DataFrame for verification purposes.
    • Finally, it returns the modified DataFrame with updated strategies and folder check indicators.

##
## name: Bidding Strategy Assignment
## description:
##
## The Script automatically assigns a campaign to an Impression Share Strategy called 'Data Gathering' for the first 7 days after being created. Then after the campaign has been live for 7 days it is moved to a CPA strategy called 'Performance Bidding'. The logic is as follows;
## When a campaign's creation date is within 7 days of today's date, it is assigned to "Data Gathering" with a blank Folder Check column (""). Otherwise, it's assigned to "Performance Bidding" with a "YES" in the Folder Check column.
