MarketingWeekly and monthly paid ads reports from your exports

Paid media reporter

Hand it your Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn or any other ad export and it maps the columns once, keeps a clean history and builds the same report every week and month: spend, results and cost by campaign, against the period before, with short commentary on what moved and why. When someone asks for a number, it drafts the answer with the date range and the file it came from. It never changes a campaign and never sends or posts without your yes.
