About campaigns
Campaigns are used to serve one or more ad items of the same or varying sizes. Campaigns are served to Publisher zones by creating a zone assignment. Every ad item that is included in a campaign will share the same assignment details, but each ad item can be assigned a specific weight to allow you to prioritize one ad item over another.
If a campaign contains ad items of varying sizes, only ad items compatible with the requesting zone will be considered for serving.
There are three types of campaign that you can create:
Campaign Type | Description |
---|---|
Standard Campaign | Used for serving image, HTML/Rich-media, Flash to Standard or E-mail zones. |
Text Campaign | Used for serving text-based ads to Text Ad zones. |
VAST Campaign | Used for serving VAST video-based ads to a VAST Ad zones. |
