Advertising & Marketing

A NetSuite ERP tailored for advertising, marketing and event management — built around media assets, RFPs, estimates, suppliers and per-client profitability. One platform from pitch to invoice, with margin visible in real time.

THE REALITY

Agencies sell creativity. They run on spreadsheets.

Advertisers and event managers live and die by two things: assets and estimates. Yet most still track ad inventory, RFPs, supplier costs and per-client margin across Excel, email and standalone tools — losing money on every campaign they can't measure.

01

Assets lost in spreadsheets

Banners, OOH spaces, digital placements and sponsored slots tracked in Excel — no clear view of which asset is sold, free or assigned to which client.

02

Profitability is a black box

Per-campaign, per-client and per-asset margin only surfaces months later — pricing decisions run on gut feel, not data.

03

RFPs & estimates in Word

Events teams rebuild estimates from scratch for every brief, juggling versions, scenarios and supplier quotes across email threads.

04

Suppliers out of control

Freelancers, venues, AV, catering and production vendors managed off-system — POs, costs and margin slip between cracks.

The opportunity: a cloud ERP where every banner, slot, estimate, PO and supplier invoice connects back to a single number — margin per client.

THE SOLUTION

A NetSuite ERP built for agency work

We tailored NetSuite end-to-end to solve the exact pains of advertising, marketing and event management — from media asset tracking and RFP estimates to supplier control and live campaign profitability.

SIGNATURE BUILD

Two problems, one ledger: assets & RFPs

Every advertising and event management firm wrestles with the same two questions every week. We modeled both natively inside NetSuite — and connected them to the financials so margin is never a mystery.

Media Asset Management

Banners, OOH faces, digital placements and sponsorship slots modeled as inventory — with availability, assignment and profitability per asset.

  • Live availability calendar per asset and format
  • Who's the client? — direct link from asset to campaign and order
  • Cost, fill rate and yield per asset, surface or location
  • Renewal alerts and asset-level revenue forecasting

RFP & Event Management Estimates

Build, compare and win multi-scenario estimates for every brief — and turn the winning version into a fully costed project with one click.

  • Multiple estimate versions based on RFP process divided in chapters and budget items
  • Rate cards, supplier quotes and margin targets baked in
  • Side-by-side comparison and client-ready PDF output
  • Approved estimate → project + POs + supplier orders, automatically
