To expand reach into the small and medium business segment and enable self-service for media planning, leveraging the Advertising Sales Management self-care feature through an Experience Cloud portal is the most effective solution. This approach allows approved advertisers or agencies to access a dedicated portal where they can autonomously create, modify, and track their media plans.
