In the Ads area, you will create the Ads for your campaign, adding the group of creatives you want to send to the Ad Exchanges for approval.

You have complete control and visualization of the status of your Ad in each of the Ad Exchanges and you can also create rules for promoting these Ads.

Managing Ads

In the dedicated ads management area, you will be able to manage your ads with ease. It is possible to create, edit, delete, archive or unarchive, and access your archived ads.

Bulk actions are available after selecting 2 or more ads. Use this option to delete, archive or send ads for review in bulk.

Creating Ads

On the Select Assets Tab, you will need to fulfill a domain in which your creatives will be representing, you can choose between creating new creatives or using existing creatives.

Creating New Creatives

After selecting your images, you will be shown your uploaded images.

Use Existing Creatives

If you wish to create new Ads based on existing Creatives, select the Use Existing Creatives tab, note that if you have previously selected any images on the Create New Creatives tab, all of your images will be discarded.

A/B Test

On the A/B Test tab, you can decide if you will be testing your Ads to check their results, by setting different weights on each creative.

It is necessary to have more than one creative selected in order to use the A/B Test.

Naming and Tagging

On the Naming and Tagging Strategy tab, you will be able to customize your ads' names and tags.

  • Copy From Assets: Uses the same name or tags from the creative itself.

  • Use New: Creates a new name or tag for all ads.

    • Append Size: By checking this option, insert the creative's size into the name.

  • Custom: Customize each Ad separately, naming and tagging each one.

You can check the current status of your settings by checking the Preview Editor.

Rules

On your Rules tab, you will be able to set a schedule for your Ad, being able to set a starting date and ending date, as well as setting which day and time.

If no schedule is set, all of your ads will be displayed all day long every day.

  • You can set a specific time for your Ad to be displayed. If all boxes are unchecked, the selected day will be removed from your schedule.

  • While making changes to your schedule, our Preview Editor will display how many hours per week the ads will be displayed.

Exchanges

All ads are sent for review and need Ad Exchange approval in order to be available in your campaign.

  • Some Ad Exchanges do not require a review, and your Ads will be available for immediate use.

Editing an Ad

Creating Ad Rules

For an Ad to work, it is necessary to create a rule, you will decide when the ad will be displayed, if you have not created the rule through our Ad Creation steps, follow the steps below.

On your rule creation, you will be able to select the time frame in which your ad will be displayed.

  • Name: Inform a name for the rule.

  • Use Single Creative: Select this option to apply this rule to a single creative.

  • Use Creative Group: Select this option to apply this rule to a creative group.

  • Scheduling: You can schedule your ads to be displayed on certain days or time window, making it possible to fully customize when your ads will be displayed.

  • Display: Set a starting date and when the rule stops, you can always edit this date when necessary.

If you do not change the rule, the platform will understand that your creative will run during the campaign period, on all days of the week, and at any time. This area allows you to create periods for Ads to run within the same campaign, as well as their times and days of the week.

Example: Let's say that in the first half of the month, you have a promotion for a 10% discount on products and in the second half of the month for a 20% discount. You could create two Ads with different creatives and create a period rule so that the platform makes this change automatically for you, without the need to create two different campaigns.

Exchange Reviews
