Creative sets
A creative represents the user’s experience from impression to click. Once a creative is created, it’s available for use between your different campaigns.
Performance reporting on the creative level is available either through our Reporting API or the Analysis page in the UA platform.
Creative types
There are five supported creative types:
- ‘Video & Carousel’ – a video followed by a carousel end card
- ‘Video & Full Screen’ – a video followed by a full screen end card
- ‘Video & Interactive End Card’ – a video followed by an interactive end card
- ‘Playable’ – a standalone playable ad
- ‘Interactive Video’ – a standalone Interactive Video ad
Prior to creating a creative set for playables, interactive videos and interactive end cards, the assets will need to be uploaded to the platform by your account manager. Once uploaded, interactive end cards are available to pair with a video to create a creative. Playables and interactive videos are uploaded as a complete creative for your use.
Creating a Creative
Select ‘Create New’ in the Campaign Generator, and the ‘Create Creative’ window will open.
The modal is divided into 3 sections:
- Configuration
- Title name – the title which the campaign and uploaded assets belong to.
- Name – the Creative name. This is the only field that can be changed for an existing Creative.
- Type – ‘Video & Carousel’, ‘Video & Full Screen, or ‘Video & Interactive End card’. each type has slightly different asset requirements.
- Language – The language of your Creative. Creatives are delivered based on a user’s device language. English Creatives are always AB tested against device specific Creative.
- Save – The creative is created upon saving. You can create a Creative independently from generating a new campaign.
