How to create an image ad item
This guide will show you how to create an image ad item. It assumes that you already have or know how to make a campaign.
Creating an image ad item

- Click Add New under the Ad Items table. The Ad Item type window will appear.
- Click Image. The New Ad Item settings will appear.
- Give the ad item a name.
- If the image is hosted online, enter the URL of the host in Image source. Otherwise, click Library and either upload an image from your computer or select an image from your Media Library.
- Make sure that the dimensions in the Size field match the size of the zone to which the campaign will be assigned.
