Tactical implication: if you manage $500k+ annual media spend across DSPs, request trial access to Elevate + Ellie; run a 60-day POC on your next major campaign; measure planning time savings and plan quality vs. your current internal process or media agency workflow; if planning time drops 40%+ and quality stays comparable, negotiate broader rollout.
