    Spent $30,000 on DOOH ads in a single day today, give me some of your biggest and most ridiculous mishaps.

    Did my daily checkin on an account I onboarded to this week, haven’t used the DSP before this week. I changed the “date range” to today to see how well we were spending on against daily budget.

    Started working on incorporating DOOH data into the dashboard when I noticed that our daily spend was 4 times the recommended budget. Checked back in platform and say that I didn’t change the date range to today, I changed the end date to today. No frequency caps, no daily budget limit.

    Here’s to the freakin weekend I guess!

    It wasn’t me, but one of my coworkers once set a Facebook daily budget at $7,000 instead of $70. No idea how that happened with all the warnings it gives you when you increase your budget by that much, and she swore it was a glitch in the platform. Took a week for someone to notice somehow. It happens

    Oh damn. It actually might be worth trying to reach out to Google to see if you can get it at least partially refunded – our agency has managed to get some serious blunders refunded despite it not being Google’s fault. Could try to claim glitch?
