Havas Switzerland streamlines campaign setup with adnomaly

Driving efficiency and excellence through automation in a high-performance market

The Challenge

Havas Switzerland is part of the global Havas Group and one of the leading media and communications agencies in the region. Operating in the Swiss market comes with a unique set of challenges: lean digital teams, high labor costs, and complex campaign environments. In such settings, even small issues in campaign setup and management can lead to avoidable effort that quickly consumes valuable resources. Faced with this demanding framework, Havas Switzerland sought a smarter, more scalable way to ensure setup accuracy and operational excellence, especially in a high-wage market where simply adding more headcount is neither efficient nor sustainable.

The Approach

Since September 2024 Havas CH partnered with adnomaly to enhance campaign setup processes through intelligent automation. With a focus on excellence and operational efficiency, adnomaly was deployed to:

– automate inefficient, error-prone human checks for all campaign setup across DV360, Meta, Snapchat & TikTok

– implement a strategic safeguard to consistently operate at the highest QA level, crucial for a high performance market

– develop custom rules to address client-specific needs

– minimize time spent on repetitive, manual tasks in paid social and programmatic, allowing teams to shift focus toward strategic work.

"adnomaly has become a key part of our workflow, strengthening and streamlining our digital operations across platforms. Its smart automation ensures that campaign setups are consistently aligned with our quality standards, even under tight timelines and without increasing our team’s workload. It gives us the peace of mind we need, while staying efficient and focused."

The Results

Achieving 224% ROI by automating QA processes across social and programmatic campaigns

Since the rollout of adnomaly across Meta, TikTok, Snapchat and DV360 in September 2024 until April 2025, Havas Switzerland achieved an impressive 224% ROI, a clear indicator of the value delivered through smart processes and intelligent quality control. By incorporating adnomaly into their daily operations, Havas Switzerland was able to automate time-consuming manual tasks and protect a significant share of media budgets from being lost to undetected human or technical errors. On top of that we tailored specific checks to Havas’ unique setup requirements. One example includes verifying that all YouTube & Partners video line items are correctly geo-targeted to Switzerland, a critical factor for relevance in the local market. These customizations further strengthened adnomaly’s role in their day-to-day workflow. As a result, through the integration of adnomaly into the daily business, Havas was able to uphold their high quality standards while significantly reducing manual workload and minimizing operational risk.

Moreover, this collaboration laid the groundwork for greater trust and precision in campaign activations, offering peace of mind for campaign managers operating under tight timelines.

Scalable Collaboration

The remarkable 224% ROI underscores the strategic value of integrating automation and technology into digital campaign management and showcases how even small teams can deliver excellence at scale when equipped with the right technology. By embedding adnomaly into their operational processes Havas Switzerland has not only achieved immediate efficiency gains but also established a scalable foundation for continuous improvement. As the complexity of digital advertising grows, adnomaly will continue to serve as a key enabler, helping Havas drive operational excellence, reduce risk and maintain a competitive edge in a fast-evolving landscape.
