How AMA Increased Ad Ops Efficiency by 27% While Scaling Delivery 147%
Find out how the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA Network) streamlined campaign execution and scaled impression volume with Managed Services from adops.com
adops.com has been a valuable partner of JAMA Network for 10 years. We not only rely on them for their trafficking services, reporting, consulting, and technical solutions, but also their ability to find ways to help us evolve and grow within the digital advertising industry.
This is how a true partnership works together.
The Challenge
AMA’s publishing arm, JAMA Network, runs a high-volume ad business across its website and newsletters. As campaign volume increased, the operational workload expanded across the campaign lifecycle - from trafficking to wrap-up reports.
Campaigns required consistent execution, while also supporting new ad products, template updates, and ongoing reporting reconciliation across systems.
The Solution
adops.com operates as an embedded ad operations partner for AMA, supporting the full campaign lifecycle inside Google Ad Manager. The team works as an extension of AMA’s internal operations group, handling:
- Campaign trafficking and pacing management
- Creative QA
- First- and third-party discrepancy monitoring
- Custom creative templates
- Campaign optimization
- Troubleshooting ad server integrations and third-party creative functionality and delivery technologies
- Reporting validation and reconciliation
The Results
- Scale. From February 2020 to January 2026, AMA grew total ad-serving volume by 147% more impressions, and over the same period, newsletter ad impressions served through EAC rose by a whopping 400%, without adding another email ad vendor.
- Efficiency. The adops.com operational process resulted in a 27% increase in operational efficiency, while impression volume and revenue also increased.
- Accuracy. After moving towards a true, user-initiated interstitial, AMA saw 50% fewer discrepancies between internal reporting and third-party measurement. That made performance conversations easier, and reduced the time spent chasing down “which number is right” questions.
