      Add a Program

      Here’s How to Add a Program in Bionic for Agencies

      Programs represent the brands, stations, or platforms you buy directly (e.g., Facebook, ESPN, Spotify). Each program ties back to a vendor (e.g., Meta, Disney, Spotify Technology SA), which connects into your orders and billing.

      Adding a program in Bionic ensures that your placements are tied to the right vendor and helps you track spend consistently across campaigns.

      In this article, we’ll cover:

      1. Add a Program from a Media Plan
      2. Request a New Program
      Add a Program from a Media Plan

      You can add a new program while building your media plan. Here's how:

      1. Go to the Media Plan tab.

      2. In the Program/Vendor column, type the name of the program.

      3. If the program is not recognized, you’ll see a Program/Data Card Not Found message.

      4. Click Create a New Program to add it. NOTE: Before creating new program, please check the spelling and full name of the program to ensure it does not yet exist in our database.

      5. When you create a new program, the Vendor will default to your organization (the one that created it).To ensure accuracy, contact Bionic Support so they can update the vendor association.

      NOTE: When a new program is added, Bionic will set your agency as the vendor by default. This is fine if the program is for internal services. However, if the program belongs to another company, you must contact Bionic Support to update the vendor association so the program is tied to the correct vendor.

      Request a New Program

      In addition to adding a program directly in a media plan, you can also request one through Bionic customer support.

      1. Reach out to Bionic Support via Live Chat (or email).

      2. Provide the following required information:

        1. Program Name (and website if applicable)

        2. Vendor Name 

        3. Vendor Website

        4. Contact First & Last Name (specific person)

        5. Contact Email (work email only, no Gmail/Yahoo/etc.)

         

      Bionic Support will review your request and confirm once the program has been added to our database.
