Creating the ad

Set up your project

Once your template opens, the Layer pane displays a master banner and one or more panels are generated, depending on whether you selected an expandable.

The following images show an example of the Ad Builder interface displaying the various panes that are available when creating an ad. Refer to these images and tables to get familiar with steps you should perform every time you create an Adhesion ad in Ad Builder.

Master banner

Adhesion is served from a 1x1 banner. There is no need to edit the master banner.

14

Video (Optional): Allows you to customize the Video component, and use your own video. If a video is not required, delete this component.

Customizations

Removing the video component

Procedure

  • Perform the following steps for each button:

    1. In the Layers pane, click the button.

    2. In the Actions & Animations pane, view the events, and remove the Pause: video container action on the Tap/Click event.

Modifying the close button

You can modify the close button in the Properties pane:

  • If you replace the default close button with your own design, make sure you apply the Collapse action. Go to the Actions & Animations pane, and add the Collapse action, targeting the expand panel.

  • If your expand contains a video, it is recommended you do the following:

    1. Select Video Actions: Pause. The pause action ensures that the video will pause before the panel collapses. It is best to add a short delay, (200 ms), after the Pause action, and before initiating the Collapse action.

    2. Select a video target.

Saving as a reusable template

Note

Note: These instructions are not part of the mandatory procedure. You can use them to create a reusable template if required.

Clicking the arrow next to the Save button and selecting Save as template enables you to save your layout as a template. This template will be available for all users in your account, and can speed up your workflow the next time you build an Adhesion.

Adding components and animations to your ad

Now that the essentials of your creative are set, you can start creating and animating the content. For more information, see the following:

Previewing and testing

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.
