Guided campaign setup
Step-by-step setup covers budget, channels, audiences and checks.
Run it yourself or hand it over
Use the self-serve console with role-based seats, or let campaign managers on the managed desk handle setup, pacing and optimization. Reporting, permissions and audit trail stay the same.
What are the Console and the Managed Desk?
The console is the self-serve side of Vectravia: guided campaign setup, role-based seats for agencies and brands, and API access for in-house teams who want to automate.
The managed desk is the same platform run for you. Campaign managers set up, pace and optimize your campaigns, and you see exactly what they changed, because both modes share one set of reports, permissions and audit trail.
What do you get in each mode?
-
-
Role-based seats
Give planners, traders and clients the access each role needs.
-
Campaign managers
On the managed desk, campaign managers run setup, pacing and optimization.
-
One audit trail
Every change is logged with who made it, in both modes.
-
API access
In-house teams can create campaigns and pull reports through the API.
-
Log-level data
Exports are available whichever mode you choose.
How do you switch between self-serve and managed?
-
Start in either mode
Open seats for your team, ask for the managed desk, or do both for different accounts.
-
Share one workspace
Managed campaigns live in the same workspace your team can see, with the same reports.
-
Hand over or take back
Move a campaign to the desk or back to your team without rebuilding it.
-
Check every change
The audit trail shows each change and who made it, so nothing is hidden.
What stays the same in both modes?
| Standard | What it does here |
|---|---|
| OpenRTB 2.6 IAB Tech Lab | The same bidding and the same channel objects run underneath both modes. |
| MRC viewability guidelines MRC | The same viewability rule applies to every report, self-serve or managed. |

What do teams ask about the console and managed desk?
Is reporting different on the managed desk?
No. Both modes use the same reports, permissions and audit trail. The only difference is who makes the changes.
Can an agency give clients their own seats?
Yes. Role-based seats let an agency give a client read-only reporting access while traders keep edit rights.
Can we start managed and move to self-serve later?
Yes. Campaigns can move between the managed desk and your own team without being rebuilt. See self-serve or managed for how teams usually decide.
