Excerpt

Creatives

Creatives are the actual ads shown to your audience. You can add as many creatives as you like, and you can add them at any time.

Depending on the type of campaign you are setting up, different creative options are available. You can upload images in different sizes, design your ads from scratch, use creatives from a third-party provider or upload videos.

Before your ad can be shown to audiences it is reviewed by the publisher and either approved or rejected. You will find the publisher’s Creative Approval Policy in the creative wizard.

Add Creatives

You can add creatives from the Create Campaign wizard and from the Campaign details.

Create Campaign > Creatives > Add Creative.

Campaign details > Creatives > New Creative
