Campaign Settings

Basic Campaign Details

Name: The campaign name.

Advertiser: (Read-only for existing campaigns) The applicable advertiser (brand). Select an existing advertiser or create a new one.

Advertiser URL: The advertiser’s official page. This field speeds your ad approval process with inventory partners.

Campaign Goals

Margin Management: Whether to manage margins for the campaign: Yes or No (the default).

When you choose Yes, specify the margin type and amount:

  • Margin Type: The type of margin. You can’t change the margin type once you enable margin management and save the campaign.

    • Fixed: (the default) Allows DSP to auto-calculate and cap spend based on a fixed margin percentage of the Gross Budget.

    • Dynamic: Allows you to manage margins down to the placement level by specifying a separate Budget Reserve % and Gross Budget for each package and placement in the campaign. DSP optimizes based on the financial efficiency of each placement, without guaranteeing a specific margin. Use this for insertion orders that consist of multiple line items for which you’ve agreed to deliver a fixed amount of units or unit types at a fixed rate.

  • Fixed Margin %: (Campaigns with fixed margins only) The default markup for each insertion order , as a percentage. This amount is deducted from the Gross Budget to define the net campaign budget.

  • Budget Reserve %: (Campaigns with fixed margins only; optional) Reserves a specified percentage of the Gross Budget as a safeguard. This amount is deducted from the Gross Budget to define the net campaign budget.

Gross Budget: (Campaigns with margin management only) The gross campaign budget, before the specified marginal adjustments are applied.

You can optionally add an additional daily, weekly, or monthly gross budget:

  1. Click Add an additional Gross Budget.

  2. Enter the Gross Budget and select the budget interval: Daily, Weekly, or Monthly.

The total net budget, which is the spending cap for the campaign, is automatically calculated based on the margin settings and is indicated below this value.

Budget: (Campaigns without margin management) The overall campaign budget.

Estimated Tax Withholding: Withholds a percentage of total spend across ad fees, ad serving fees, and/or data fees at the account level for country or local taxes. Rates are estimates for budgeting and pacing purposes, so invoiced tax rates may vary.

To estimate taxes to withhold:

  1. Click Update rates here.

  2. Specify the Estimated tax rate, as a percentage.

  3. Select the check box next to each fee type for which to withhold taxes. The fee types include:

    • Include estimated tax - ads fee: Applies to all Advertising DSP media spend, including taxes on campaign management fees.

    • Include estimated tax - ad serving fee: Applies to all spend on Advertising DSP except for media and data. It excludes taxes for campaign management fees

    • Include estimated tax - data fee: Applies to all data spend on Advertising DSP.

  4. Click Submit.

NOTE
  • In the U.S., states may vary in their inclusion of tax fees across ads, ad serving, and data. For organizations in other countries, include all three categories of tax fees to account for VAT.

  • You can also configure these values in the account’s fee settings.

Cross Device Level: (Read-only for existing campaigns created since 22 June 2020; not available for campaigns created before 22 June 2020) The level at which DSP will target ads and apply frequency caps: Same Device to target a device or People to target a person across all of their known devices.

  • LiveRamp - U.S. only: Available to all advertisers for cross-device targeting at $0.35 CPM for impressions that are delivered by using the LiveRamp device graph (that is, for devices not found within the targeted audience segments). You can set up cross-device targeting at the placement level.

    This option is also available to all advertisers, without any fees, for frequency management and attribution measurement.

Frequency Cap: (Optional) The number of times a unique device or person (depending on the specified Cross Device Level) will be served ads from the campaign. Options include Unlimited or a specific amount per day, week, or month.

NOTE
You can set frequency caps at the campaign, package, and placement levels. DSP will respect the strictest frequency cap in the campaign hierarchy.

Packages: The packages to include in the campaign. Select existing packages and/or create packages to include. If you create packages, see descriptions about the package settings for more information.
