Overview
If your campaign is live but your Reporting dashboard shows little or no data, this is normal. TV and CTV campaigns take time to begin delivering and collecting performance insights. Your campaign goes through several stages before meaningful results appear.
This guide explains why reporting may not show data yet and what to expect as your campaign ramps.

Why Reporting May Not Show Data
Campaign approval
Before your ad begins running, it must be reviewed and approved.
This process ensures your creative meets TV and network standards.
What this means:
Your campaign will not begin delivering until approval is complete.
Reporting will not appear until delivery starts.
What to do:
Allow time for approval.
Check your campaign status to confirm it has been approved.
Delivery ramp-up
Once approved, your campaign enters a ramp-up period.
During this time, MNTN identifies and reaches households that match your targeting.
What this means:
Spend, impressions, and reach may appear slowly at first.
This is expected while your campaign builds momentum.
What to do:
Give your campaign time to stabilize.
Avoid making early changes during this phase.
Data processing
Performance data is not always available in real time. It takes time for delivery, verification, and reporting systems to process campaign activity.
What this means:
There may be a delay between delivery and when data appears in your dashboard.
What to do:
Check back regularly as data updates over time.
Attribution timing
TV campaigns influence awareness and customer behavior over days or weeks.
Results often appear after viewers have had time to act.
What this means:
Performance trends become clearer over longer periods.
Early reporting may not reflect the full impact of your campaign.
What to do:
Focus on long-term trends instead of short-term changes.
What To Expect In The First Few Days
Many campaigns experience:
Little or no data immediately after launch
Gradual increases in spend and impressions
Growing reach over the first week
More consistent performance after the ramp-up period
