If you used a third party authoring tool, such as a code editor or Adobe Animate, to build your standard banner, proceed to set up your ad in Amazon Ad Server (AAS).
Note
Note: If you used Ad Builder to build your standard banner this set up is not required and you can proceed to sharing your ad. For more information, see Share your ads.
Before uploading your ad to AAS, verify that you have completed these prerequisites.
-
The folder that contains your assets does not include unnecessary files. For example:
-
Unused assets such as images, videos, or fonts.
-
Work files such as
.psd
,.fla
, or.scss
. -
Hidden files such as
thumbs.db
(Windows) or.DS_Store
(Mac).
-
-
Create a workspace (zip file) for each ad. It is recommended that the zip file name matches the final name of the ad.
-
Each workspace contains its default image (named default or backup). This image should be optimized and lightweight.
Note
Note: Naming the workspace and the default image are especially useful when using the Ad Wizard tool to bulk upload your work; the Ad Name field and the Default field will be filled in automatically. For more information, see Set up multiple ads using Ad Creation Wizard.
Note
Note: In-App clickthrough functionality requires using a HTML5 workspace when building a Standard Banner.
Setting up your ad requires that you start by uploading your workspace to the Assets Library. Then, set up your ad based on the workspace that you uploaded.
-
Select Creative > Ads.

Click New Ad > Blank Ad.

Give your ad a meaningful name.

Tip
Tip: AAS will use this folder as the default for the next step.

-
For a clickable creative, it is recommended that you select the Enable Click-through Overlay check box to inject a transparent button that will cover the entire ad.
Note
Note: If you do not follow this recommendation, you can manually add a click-through in your creative. For more information, see Create a standard banner in any authoring tool.
-
Click Save.
You can upload and set up multiple ads in a single process using the Ad Creation Wizard. For more information, see Set up multiple ads using Ad Creation Wizard.
After you finish creating your ad, make sure that you preview and test it. For more information, see Preview Your Ads and Test your ads.
