  • Publication number: 20160189247
    Abstract: An online advertising system enables advertisers to create a new advertisement campaign and then upload a plurality of advertisement sets and rules for targeting, prioritizing, and frequency capping the advertisement sets. Within each advertisement set, the advertiser provides one or more creative groups of advertisements along with weightings or sequencing among the creative groups in the advertisement set. The online advertising system provides a summary user interface that presents the advertiser's purchased advertisement placements across all publishing sites. From the summary user interface, the advertiser can select an advertisement placement, which results in an editor user interface being presented that presents the details of the selected advertisement placement. The advertiser can then modify the selected advertisement placement, which is automatically updated in the summary user interface.

  • Publication number: 20160189244
    Abstract: An online advertising system stores a plurality of creative groups. A creative group comprises one or more advertisement assets that are associated with an advertising concept. The online advertising system receives an advertisement asset associated with a particular advertising concept from an advertiser, and checks to see whether the advertisement asset complies with the formatting rules. The online advertising system formats the advertisement asset as needed to bring the advertisement asset into compliance. Alternatively, the online advertising system provides a notification user interface that indicates the advertisement asset is not in compliance with the formatting rules, and provides an option to format the advertisement asset such that it complies with the formatting rules.
