Link Display & Video 360 and Ads Creative Studio

If you're creating display ads for an advertiser who uses Display & Video 360, you can set up an account link to export your display projects directly to their Display & Video 360 advertiser.

How it works

After you set up an account link, you can export creative projects to a Display & Video 360 advertiser. Your Ads Creative Studio projects will appear as draft creatives in the advertiser's creative list.

Display & Video 360 users can't change the creative content, template, or variants of the exported creative in Display & Video 360. But they can change the creative name, targeting rules, and landing pages. Any changes made to the creative in Display & Video 360 will not change the creative project in Ads Creative Studio.

Keep in mind:

• Linking accounts doesn't give the Ads Creative Studio account users access to view or edit the Display & Video 360 advertiser. Similarly, users of the linked Display & Video 360 advertiser can't add, edit, or delete any projects in Ads Creative Studio.
• Each time you export a project from Ads Creative Studio, it appears as a new draft creative in the linked Display & Video 360 advertiser. If you change a project after you export it, export it again and make sure to let your Display & Video 360 contact know so they can use the updated creative in their campaigns.
