Delivery that balances itself — so the audience you sold is the audience you deliver.

Blended campaigns that protect their own delivery.

adserve Studio automatically balances delivery between airtime and digital audio, under terms agreed on the quote — so the audience you sold is the audience you deliver. No requote, no rebooking, and every move logged.

The idea

Sell the audience, not the channel.

The plan protects its own delivery — the booked total stays the same, the audience is still reached, and every move is recorded.

Booked total — unchanged Airtime pacing Digital audio + rebalanced
How it works

Agreed once, then the plan looks after itself.

01

Terms agreed once, on the quote

Directions (both ways or one way), the maximum shift, the basis and the trigger — for example a channel below 90% of booked delivery at a weekly check.

02

Only through linked audiences

The airtime demographic is linked to a digital audio audience, so both channels reach the same people and only linked ad groups can give or receive budget.

03

Weekly checks

If one channel is pacing ahead of the other, delivery rebalances across them for the rest of the flight to keep the plan on track.

04

Every move logged

Budget moved, spots and impressions added or removed, the rate applied and any extra audience value given.

05

A variation notice is issued

Issued for each move and reflected in full in the post-campaign analysis — the flexible record of the campaign — with the booked total unchanged.

See it in a live campaign

The proof is in the post-campaign analysis.

A real blended campaign, rebalanced twice mid-flight. The booked total never moved — delivery simply flowed to where it was pacing best, and every adjustment is on the record.

Post-campaign analysis for a blended campaign. The Performance view shows two REBALANCED markers on the delivery timeline. The Performance by Channel table keeps the booked total of £61,800 unchanged after rebalancing, with budget shifted from Airtime (£52,000 booked, £48,340 rebalanced) to Digital Audio (£9,800 booked, £13,460 rebalanced).

And every rebalance is on the record — the trigger, the move, the rate applied and the audience value, with a variation notice for each.

Dynamic Balancing ledger from the post-campaign analysis: two rebalances totalling £3,659.76 (5.9% of a 20% limit), moving budget from Airtime (£52,000 to £48,340.24) to Digital Audio (£9,800 to £13,459.76) with the £61,800 total unchanged. Each row is a variation notice (VN-00001336-1 and -2) showing the weekly-check trigger, the reason, the budget moved, spots and impressions changed, the rate applied and the media-group value added.
£61,800 → £61,800

Booked total unchanged after two rebalances. What was sold is what gets billed — the plan moves delivery, not the deal.

Airtime → Digital audio

With airtime pacing behind, budget flowed to the linked digital audio audience — reaching the same people to keep the plan on track.

Every move logged

Both rebalances are marked on the timeline and recorded line by line, each with its own variation notice.

Comparing audience across channels

Broadcast and digital audio prove their audience differently — so the basis matters.

Digital audio delivers verified impressions against a defined audience — every contact is known to be a member of it. Broadcast reach is modelled from industry survey panels like RAJAR and JNLR: highly efficient for broad demographics, with less granularity as audiences get narrower. Because the two channels evidence audience on different terms, moving delivery between them needs an agreed basis — so the trade stays fair to both the advertiser and the media group.

BasisWhat movesWho it suits
Agreed exchange rate default Budget at booked value; audience converts at a rate set at booking. Most campaigns — fair and predictable.
Budget-neutral Budget at booked value; each channel buys at its own CPT/CPM. Advertisers focused on spend.
Audience-neutral Audience one for one; the media group absorbs any cost difference. Audience guarantees.
