What Zefyr manages

The execution layer from brief to reporting.

Four connected operating areas—one route from the brief you bring to the reporting returned to your team.

01

Planning & Architecture

Brief, audience, budget, platform and measurement architecture—the plan the campaign is built on.

02

Build & Activation

Access, setup, targeting, trafficking, QA and launch through the agreed account structure.

03

Trading & Governance

Pacing, bids, inventory quality, frequency, brand safety and escalation within agreed controls.

04

Reporting & Recommendations

Reconciliation, findings, commentary, post-campaign review and prioritised next actions.

Operating model

From authorised brief to agency-ready output.

What happens after your agency brings Zefyr a brief.

STAGE 01

Scope and Access

Confirm objectives, timelines, responsibilities, platform access, measurement and commercial constraints.

Scope and responsibilities confirmed

What the agency retains

Your agency remains in control.

You retain the client relationship, strategic ownership, approval rights, end-client communication, pricing control and commercial decision-making.

Zefyr does not independently approach or solicit an agency partner's clients.

Account structure

Work within the structure that protects the account.

01

Agency-owned account

Zefyr operates within an account controlled by the agency.

02

Advertiser-owned account

Zefyr receives agreed access while the advertiser or agency retains ownership.

03

Approved managed-service structure

Zefyr manages activity through an approved platform, seat or partner arrangement where appropriate.

Platform access and buying structure are confirmed during scoping. Zefyr does not claim universal access to every platform or inventory source.

Commercial structure

Commercial structure agreed upfront.

Campaign fees, hybrid managed-service models and agency-desk retainers are structured according to the account setup, campaign scope and level of support required.

  • Agency controls end-client pricing.
  • Platform and service costs are treated transparently.
  • Partner commercial structure is agreed upfront.
  • No long-term commitment is required for an initial campaign.

Campaign governance

Clear controls before, during and after launch.

Material campaign decisions follow the approval and escalation rules agreed with the agency.

01

Before launch

  • Access and permissions
  • Measurement validation
  • Naming and taxonomy
  • Pre-launch QA
  • Budget approval
  • Brand-safety requirements

After campaign
