What is the problem in current scenario? 

Currently, brands and agencies face the problem of unchecked campaigns leading to off brand advertising. 

In the current scenario, advertisers use excel sheets and other manual ways to check their campaings which is very time consuming and an inefficient way to QA the campaign. Iterations on email/offline cause delay in campaign launches which leads to monetary losses and lack of accountability.
