Data pipeline for marketing agency

Streamlining Client reporting and Data Pipelines for a Marketing Agency.

Brief

Discover streamlined client reporting with a premier Australian Marketing Agency in luxury real estate. Leveraging Google Looker Studio, we optimized data extraction and dynamic visualization across diverse platforms for comprehensive campaign insights.

Project Challenge

The challenge was in addressing the unique needs of a marketing agency with a substantial client base. Based out of Australia, the agency operates in the large luxury real estate sector and manages monthly reporting for over 50 clients, demanding comprehensive data retrieval from diverse sources. The data, sourced from various platforms, was not centralized, making manual collection and report creation both time-consuming and complex. A scalable solution was imperative to meet the client’s reporting needs effectively.

Our Approach

  • API-Driven Data Retrieval: We crafted custom Python connectors for each platform, replacing 3rd-party connectors that ensured efficient data extraction. Our scripts were hosted in Google Cloud Run for automated periodic execution.
  • Centralized Storage: Extracted data were stored in Google BigQuery and backed up in Google Cloud Storage, establishing a reliable and secure data repository.
  • Standardized Dashboard Template: We designed a universal Looker Studio dashboard template for all clients, simplifying the reporting process and ensuring consistency.
  • Automated Dynamic Reports: On top of the Google BigQuery data, we executed an innovative approach to generate dynamic reports for each client at scale. Instead of going with the traditional route of creating separate dashboards for individual clients, we automated the entire process, allowing the dashboards to be generated automatically based on client-specific data and the template we meticulously designed. This process not only saved valuable time but also boosted efficiency.
  • Client Portal: We created a dedicated portal, allowing the marketing agency to easily access the dashboard links for each client and fostering user-friendly interactions.
