Cumulus Creative Concierge (CCC) is a workflow product for Cumulus only users to create or customize spec spots.
The process begins in CCC. CCC users will access their CCC account to either browse and choose a pre produced spot to use as their spec, or if the user wishes to use the production services they can submit a script for voicing or production by choosing either the Get it Produced or Get it Voiced options.
CCC Account view:
Once the CCC spec spot is completed, the user will find that spec in their CCC account in the My Audio Specs view. The user will then click on Take Action, Mark sold, fill out revenue and run dates and submit.
With the vPPO integration in place, when the user marks the spec spot as sold in their CCC account, they will receive an email notification that their spot is attached to a production order and can be found in their vPPO Drafts folder where they can move it forward in the vPPO workflow. The user can click the title of the draft spot to open and complete the order details and submit. Once submitted, the order is then visible to Cumulus traffic and production teams.
