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 won't change the creative project in Ads Creative Studio.
Bear in mind that:
- Linking accounts will not 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 will not be able to add, edit or delete any projects from Ads Creative Studio.
- Each time that you export a project from Ads Creative Studio, it will appear 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 that you let your Display & Video 360 contact know so that they can use the updated creative in their campaigns.
Link a Display & Video 360 advertiser to your account
- Before you get started, ask your Display & Video 360 contact for the advertiser ID of the advertiser where you want to export your creative projects, and the email address to send the link request to. Note: Only a standard or admin user can approve the link request.
- Sign in to Ads Creative Studio.
- Click Settings Access and security.
- Next to Display & Video 360, click Details if you haven't linked any accounts yet. If you've already linked an account, click Manage & link.
- Click Link advertiser.
- Enter the Display & Video 360 advertiser ID and the email address of the person to send the link request to.
- Click Send.
An email will be sent to the address that you entered with a request to approve the link. After the link is approved, you can start exporting projects.
Unlink a Display & Video 360 advertiser from your account
You can unlink a Display & Video 360 advertiser from your Ads Creative Studio account at any time. After the link is removed, you'll no longer be able to export projects to that advertiser.
- Sign in to Ads Creative Studio.
- Click Settings Access and security.
- Next to Display & Video 360, click Manage & link.
- Find the advertiser that you want to unlink and click Unlink.
You'll no longer be able to export projects to the advertiser.
Cancel a link request
If you sent a link request by mistake or no longer want to link an advertiser, you can cancel your request.
- Sign in to Ads Creative Studio.
- Click Settings Access and security.
- Click Request sent.
- Find the pending link request that you want to cancel. Under Actions, click Cancel request.
The request will be cancelled and the Display & Video 360 user will no longer be able to approve it.
