2. Click on the Delivery menu item

3. Click on New Order

4. Give the line item a name + pick an advertiser (create a new one if necessary)

5. Enter the ad size – e.g. 728x90 for a leaderboard ad

6. Set the type of ad (e.g. Sponsorship)

7. Set when the ad ends – either by an end date, or set number of impressions/clicks

8. Set the rate you’re charging per click-through here too

1. In the Add Targeting section, click on the Ad Units folder and select the correct ad unit that you want this line item to deliver to (You can select more than one ad unit if you want.)

2. Once you’ve ticked the ad units you want to include, hit Include Selected, then Save and...

3. Select Upload Creatives

...

2. Select a clickthrough URL for the creative then click Save.

Approve the ad

Once you have confirmed:

• The line item is linked with a piece of creative (click the ‘creative’ tab and ensure that there is the correct creative at the correct size added there).
• The line item is associated with the correct Ad Unit (scroll down and check that the ad unit you want to send it to has been assigned in the ‘inventory’ column of the Add Targeting section.

...

• Make sure the Creative is linked to a Line Item
• Make sure that Line Item is linked to the correct Ad Unit
• Make sure that Ad Unit is the one added to the SoCast platform
• Only generate tags once unless you need to add a new ad unit – if that’s the case, you will need to generate the tags for all ad units again!
