We are pleased to announce this new release of MediaPlanHQ.
Here are the features:
General enhancements
Feature #1: View details only from list view

Feature #2: Responsible roles by status
You can now define the roles that are responsible for the actual work in all media insertion statuses and creative project statuses.
For example, in the screenshot above, we see that:
- The "marketing manager" or "creative director" role are responsible "to brief" projects
- The "creative resource" role is responsible when projects are in "To do" or "In prod"
- The "marketing manager" role is responsible when projects are in "Ready for review", "Awaiting info", and "In approval"
In the media insertions list or creative project list, the responsible is now highlighted:
Existing users: Your account was migrated using a matching logic based on the "responsible for production" / "responsible for delivery" flags defined in each roles and the "production done" / "delivery done" flags defined in each creative project statuses.
You should review the responsible roles to make sure they make sense in your workflow.
Feature #3: Dashboard with personal/team metrics and favourite media plans
A new "Dashboard" module is now available in your account to outline all the information that needs attention now - either by you or by your team.
The information is personalized for every user based on their roles, assignments and deadlines.
The boxes are color code as follow:
- a red box needs attention now, as it is mostly overdue.
- a gray box needs attention in soon as it is something that will become overdue soon.
- a green box means that there's nothing to do, everything is done and under control.
The dashboard contains 3 sections as follow:
Section #1: Media Insertion Metrics
Note that only users with "Access planning" will see the "Media insertions" section in the dashboard.
This section outlines the media insertions that needs attention either by you (Personal) or by your team (Team)
