MediaOne Business Group Pte Ltd is committed to delivering digital marketing services that are accurate, consistent, compliant, and aligned with each client’s agreed objectives and scope of work.
This Quality Assurance Policy defines MediaOne’s internal standards, mandatory processes, approval workflows, and accountability structures for maintaining service quality across all stages of campaign and project delivery.
This policy applies to all MediaOne staff, contractors, freelancers, and white-label partners involved in the delivery of client services, including but not limited to:
• Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
• Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and Paid Media
• Social Media Marketing and Advertising
• Content production and copywriting
• Creative and campaign assets
• Website-related deliverables
• Digital tracking, tagging, and analytics setup

All third-party suppliers and freelancers engaged by MediaOne are required to adhere to the quality standards set out in this policy as a condition of engagement.
| Standard | Definition | Status |
Deliverable Accuracy | Client-facing deliverables must be reviewed and verified before submission. Factual errors, incorrect data, or misaligned scope must be corrected prior to release. | Mandatory |
Report Accuracy | All reports must be cross-checked against source platform data before submission. Discrepancies above 5% must be investigated and explained. | Mandatory |
Revision Turnaround | Standard revision requests must be acknowledged within 1 business day and completed within 3 business days unless otherwise agreed in the SOW. | Mandatory |
Error Rate Target | MediaOne targets fewer than 2 client-reported factual errors per account per quarter. Repeat errors trigger a mandatory process review. | Target KPI |
Client Response Time | All client communications must receive an initial response within 1 business day. | Mandatory |
Tracking Integrity | All tracking implementations must be verified via QA testing before campaign launch. Unverified tracking constitutes a launch blocker. | Mandatory |
4.1 Client Onboarding
A structured onboarding QA process is mandatory for all new client accounts. The assigned account lead must complete the following before campaign or project work commences:

4.2 Campaign and Project Delivery
MediaOne applies internal checks at key stages of campaign and project delivery. The following sub-sections define mandatory and applicable checks by service line.

• Login credentials and access documentation updated in the internal system
• Account history and campaign data archived in accordance with MediaOne’s data retention policy
• Client satisfaction feedback requested and recorded
To ensure consistency, security, and data integrity across all client accounts, MediaOne maintains a defined set of approved tools and platforms. Use of non-approved tools for client work requires prior management authorisation.
Category | Standard |
Project Management | Designated internal project management platform (as communicated by management). All tasks, deadlines, and approvals must be tracked within this system. |
Reporting | Reports must be produced using MediaOne’s approved reporting templates. Ad hoc formats require account lead sign-off. |
SEO Tools | Approved SEO platforms as designated by the SEO lead. Tool access is role-based and must not be shared. |
Analytics | Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is the standard web analytics platform. Google Tag Manager (GTM) is the standard tag management system. |
Password and Access Management | All client credentials must be stored in the designated credential management system. Sharing credentials via email or messaging platforms is prohibited. |
Communication | Client communications must be conducted through approved channels only. Significant decisions, approvals, and scope changes must be confirmed in writing. |
Quality assurance is a shared responsibility. The table below defines roles, QA obligations, and approval authority by seniority level.
Role | QA Responsibilities | Sign-Off Authority |
Account Executive / Specialist | Responsible for completing channel-specific QA checklists before submission. Flags issues to account lead immediately upon identification. | Deliverable-level QA |
Account Lead / Senior Specialist | Responsible for ensuring all pre-launch, content, and reporting checks are completed before client submission or campaign activation. First escalation point. | Client submission sign-off |
Department Head / Specialist Lead | Reviews strategic, complex, or high-value accounts. Defines what constitutes a ‘high-value account’ within their team (default: monthly retainer above agreed threshold). | Campaign launch on high-value accounts |
Management | Oversees policy compliance and reviews persistent or high-severity quality issues. Final escalation point for unresolved client disputes. | Policy override; dispute resolution |
A ‘high-value account’ is defined by the relevant Department Head based on criteria including but not limited to monthly retainer value, campaign complexity, and reputational sensitivity.
MediaOne’s service quality is directly dependent on the competency of its team. The following requirements apply:
7.1 Minimum Certification Requirements
The following certifications are required for staff in the respective roles:
Role | Requirement |
SEM / Paid Media Specialists | Google Ads certification (relevant to assigned channels). Meta Blueprint certification recommended. |
SEO Specialists | Completion of MediaOne’s internal SEO onboarding training. Ongoing platform-specific knowledge updates required. |
Analytics | Google Analytics 4 certification required for any staff responsible for tracking setup or reporting. |
All Client-Facing Staff | Completion of MediaOne’s internal onboarding QA training before handling client accounts independently. |
7.2 Ongoing Development
• Staff are required to stay current with platform changes relevant to their role (e.g., Google Ads policy updates, Meta algorithm changes, GA4 feature releases).
• Department Heads are responsible for communicating material platform changes to their teams within 5 business days of release.
• Training needs identified during QA reviews or performance reviews must be actioned within 30 days.
Where MediaOne engages freelancers, contractors, or white-label partners in the delivery of client services, the following controls apply:
• All third parties must be briefed on the relevant sections of this QA policy prior to commencing work.
• Work produced by third parties is subject to the same internal review and approval process as work produced by MediaOne staff.
• The assigned account lead remains responsible for the quality of all third-party deliverables submitted to clients.
• Third-party access to client platforms and data must be approved by the account lead and documented. Access must be revoked immediately upon completion of the engagement.
• MediaOne does not permit third parties to communicate directly with clients without prior approval from the account lead.
9.1 Internal Issue Management
If an error, issue, or quality concern is identified before client submission or campaign launch, the identifying team member must:
• Correct the issue immediately if within their authority and skill set
• Notify the account lead regardless of whether the issue was self-corrected
• Document the issue in the designated internal log, noting the nature, cause, and resolution
Corrective actions may include:
• Revising or correcting the deliverable
• Updating campaign settings
• Clarifying scope or approval status with the client
• Conducting a root-cause review to prevent recurrence
9.2 Escalation Matrix
The following escalation matrix applies when issues cannot be resolved at the identifying level:
Scenario | Escalation Path |
Deliverable error identified pre-submission | Account Lead → corrected before client sees it. Logged internally. |
Deliverable error identified post-submission | Account Lead notified immediately. Client communication coordinated by Account Lead. Escalate to Department Head if client is dissatisfied. |
Campaign error with financial impact (e.g., budget overspend, incorrect targeting live) | Account Lead pauses the issue immediately. Department Head notified within 2 hours. Management notified within 4 hours if client impact is material. |
Repeat error on same account (2+ occurrences in one quarter) | Mandatory escalation to Department Head. Formal process review required within 10 business days. |
Unresolved client complaint | Department Head escalation within 24 hours. Management involved if unresolved within 5 business days. |
9.3 Client Complaint Process
MediaOne operates a documented client complaint process:
• All complaints, whether received verbally or in writing, must be logged by the account lead within 1 business day of receipt.
• The account lead must acknowledge the complaint to the client within 1 business day.
• A proposed resolution must be communicated to the client within 5 business days unless complexity requires a longer timeline, which must be communicated.
• Complaint outcomes are reviewed by management quarterly to identify systemic issues.
As a Singapore-registered business handling client and end-user data, MediaOne is subject to the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). The following requirements apply to all staff:
• Client data and end-user data collected through campaigns (e.g., lead forms, retargeting audiences, CRM uploads) must be handled in accordance with the PDPA.
• Staff must not use client data for any purpose other than the agreed scope of work.
• Any suspected data breach or unauthorised data access must be reported to management immediately.
• Campaign setups involving remarketing, custom audiences, or first-party data uploads must be reviewed to ensure platform compliance (e.g., Meta Custom Audience Terms, Google Customer Match policies).
• Staff must not store client credentials, data, or sensitive information on personal devices or unauthorised platforms.
MediaOne also ensures that all campaigns and content comply with applicable platform advertising policies (Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.) and Singapore’s advertising standards. Non-compliance identified during a QA review is a mandatory launch blocker.
MediaOne seeks to maintain clear and documented communication with clients throughout the project or campaign lifecycle.
• Written client approval is required before any campaign launch, content publication, or material scope change. Verbal approval is not sufficient.
• Approval records must be retained for the duration of the client engagement and for a minimum of 12 months thereafter.
• MediaOne will communicate material risks, platform changes, or required client actions proactively and in writing.
• All scope changes, regardless of size, must be confirmed via a written amendment to the SOW before implementation.
MediaOne operates a structured continuous improvement programme to ensure QA standards evolve with the business, client needs, and platform changes.
