Process & Timeline

We typically introduce new clients to CIIM™ via a 30-minute introductory call. We will review methodology, answer questions, and prep for next steps

Client Introduction

The client will fill out a submission form (example can be found in the references pages of this deck) that includes all assets and necesary information for the CIIM™ Team to price the client’s testing

Asset Preparation

We will begin to engage with your company’s procurement group

Initiate Procurement

The CIIM™ Team will create an SOW based on the information within the CIIM Submission Form for the client’s review. We will wait to review the client’s PO

SOW Creation

Upon SOW client approval and MP4 links provided, the CIIM™ Team can begin fielding the client’s assets. The fielding time is typically 2-3 weeks. This fielding time will be impacted by potential customizations and target segments

Fielding Process

Once out of field, the CIIM™ Team will begin the dashboard development process. This process typically requires 3-4 weeks. If an Open-End Analysis was included, that analysis will require and additional 2 weeks after the dashboard development

Dashboard Develpment

The CIIM™ Team will present the client with the results in a 1-hour work session or presentation maximum to interpret dashboard results for every 4 ads submitted
