Too late last night, I thought that there is an other option: your
schema may use the awful xsi:type.  Is that the case?  Do you have
an example message somewhere?

Well, there is no element in the WSDL with that name, only a type.  So,
the complaint is correct.

If your messages use xsi:type, then read section "Handling xsi:type"
in XML::Compile::Schema.  Probably you then need
   $wsdl->addXsiType('data:AdvertiserServiceFilter' => 'AUTO');

The schema included in the WSDL defines elements and types in the
targetNamespace http://api.eyeblaster.com/message  However, these
elements apparently never refer to other elements in the namespace:
there is no xmlns which assigns a prefix to that URI.  The example
generator explain() really likes to show prefixes.

The best way to start a project, is to add this to your script
  my $wsdl = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new($wsdl, prefixes => \%prefixes);
where you manually assign your own prefixes to the namespaces used.
If you don't, the prefix names used in the schema are used... which
may change over generations of the schema (they are often generated)

  my %prefixes =
    ( msg  => 'http://api.eyeblaster.com/message'
    , data => 'http://api.eyeblaster.com/V1/DataContracts'
    , ...more?...
    );

I hope this helps,
