WHAT IS PPO?

It’s a web-based continuity management system for ad creation and processing.

PPO (paperless production order) processes every single ad that airs, both terrestrial and digital. It replaces your current creative/continuity system, whether that is handled by email, SharePoint, or old-fashioned paper forms. PPO is designed specifically to manage all communication and delegation of production between Sales, Traffic/Continuity and Producers/Voice Talents. It tracks and stores every detail of every ad for broadcast or streaming as well as web display ads, web video, etc.

PPO processes the continuity for:

• Ads that need written and produced.
• Scripts from agencies that need produced.
• Final ads delivered via DG Online, Slingspot, etc.
• Ads from Networks.
• Live reads, billboards, endorsements, promos, etc.
• Digital streaming ads, banner ads, prerolls, etc.

WHO USES PPO?

Everyone that is involved in creative production

PPO simply replaces your current production order system. Anyone that is currently involved with submitting, fulfilling, approving or overseeing a production order or creative request would use the PPO system.

Sales, Traffic, Continuity, Producers, Copywriters, Voice Talents, Digital Producers, Graphic Designers, Web Content Producers, (Upper Management only for data reports)

For example:

WHY USE PPO?

Fiscally Responsible:

• Saves on consumables (paper, ink, toner).
  
• Increase local revenue with more Spec Spots.
  
• Sign more renewals due to better campaigns.
  
• Consolidate wisely with quantitative data.
  
• Minimize hardware and software purchasing.
  
• Eliminate need to train, maintain or support an expensive IT infrastructure.
  
• We handle everything!

HOW DOES PPO WORK?

Here is a very simple workflow example:

1) The Account Executive takes a few minutes between appointments to submit a production order on his mobile device. Because all of the necessary fields are required, the production order contains all of the information that is needed.

2) While the Traffic Manager is scheduling the ad, the Production Director / Digital Manager is assigning a Voice Talent / Graphic Designer to create the ad. By working simultaneously, the ad can be completed rapidly.

3) When Production/Digital has the ad's creative complete and loaded/uploaded, and Traffic has scheduled the ad to run, the production order is complete. Thanks to PPO we went from the sale to running the ad quickly and correctly.

WHEN CAN I START?

How about today!

PPO. IT'S ABOUT TIME.

People Doing What They Were Hired To Do

Sure, that seems like a given, but is it? When a workflow process is as prone to errors and confusion as is creative production when managed by email, paper forms, or "intranet," talented people become relegated to searching for files or researching errors.

When those errors don't happen, they get more time to focus on what they were hired to do. That means better productivity, higher quality, and happier people. (Yes. Having happy people is important.)

vCreative PPO reduces the time spent on the process, so that everyone can focus on the product.

CONNECTING AND CONSOLIDATING

PPO Conquers Time and Space

Imagine an AE in Seattle submitting a PO to a Traffic Manager in Des Moines and a Production Manager in Jacksonville who has it voiced by Talent in Dallas and Cleveland. Well you get the idea. Location is no longer a factor. Instead of separate, detached markets, you've got one big, worldwide creative department.
