Adding New Creatives in Dovetail

Before a creative can run on a series it will need to be uploaded to Dovetail. Ads are referred to as creatives in Dovetail - so that is how we'll refer to them from here on out.

There are two ways to upload creatives. Select the method that you prefer.

 

Via the Creatives Tab

Directly into a flight

 

To Upload Via the Creatives Tab

1. Navigate to the Creatives section via the hamburger menu in the top left corner of Augury.

3. Give your creative a name. Ideally something that represents the contents of the ad at a glance.

4. Select the type of ad audio; either an Mp3 that you'll upload locally or a VAST URL which pulls content from another ad server.

    • If Mp3 - upload the audio file for the ad by selecting choose file
