The problem — and how this kit solves it.
The Problem
Awareness campaigns in DV360 burn budget on low-viewability exchanges and oversaturated audiences. Frequency caps alone do not prevent audience fatigue, and manual exchange reviews happen too infrequently to catch CPM spikes before budget is wasted.
The Solution
This agent runs every 6 hours, analyzing reach, frequency, viewability, and CPM across insertion orders and line items. It detects audience fatigue by tracking frequency-to-reach ratios, excludes low-viewability exchanges, and shifts IO budgets toward line items delivering efficient CPM. Target CPM is $8.
The Outcome
Maintain CPM below $8 while maximizing unique reach by automatically excluding low-viewability exchanges and rebalancing IO budgets every 6 hours.

Who is this for?
Brand running a national awareness campaign
The agent ensures your display budget reaches the most unique users at the lowest CPM. Exchanges with poor viewability are excluded automatically, so impressions count.
Media planner managing frequency across line items
Audience fatigue detection identifies when frequency-to-reach ratios spike, triggering budget reallocation before you oversaturate your audience.
Frequently asked questions
The agent monitors frequency-to-reach ratios over time. When frequency climbs without proportional reach gains, it flags the line item as fatiguing and proposes budget shifts or pauses.
IO-level: set_budget. Line item-level: pause, resume, exclude_exchange, exclude_url, exclude_device. It does not modify creative or audience targeting.
$8. The agent evaluates all line items against this target and prioritizes budget allocation to those delivering CPM at or below $8 with acceptable viewability.
