2.1.4.1 Advertised Brands / Products

1. Create Advertised Brands / Products

For each Account (Advertisers and Agencies) it is possible to track the advertised brands in the object "Advertised Brands". Here are some examples:

Additionally, you can add a hierarchy to the brands if you like.

If you like to use the Advertised Brands in the Media Configuration for each line item - make sure to fill out the Account field to name the correct Advertiser. Otherwise the tree view will be empty.

2. Use Advertised Brands / Products

You can link these records to your Media Campaign or/and Campaign Items via the related lists.

2.1 Media Campaign

Select the advertised brand/product in the field Advertised Brand directly in your campaign. Alternatively, select this for each line item separately. See the next section. 

2.2 Campaign Item

Version

You can now select Brands, Products and Categories for each Campaign Item in the Media Configuration. If you can not see the field Selected Brands/Products in the Media Configuration, please ask your administrator to add it to your 7.2.2.1 Tab Setup.

You will see Targeting In the main menu of your Media Campaign. In your Campaign Item, you will see Targeting and menu.

The information will be stored in the field "Selected Brands/Products information" on Campaign Item and in a related list of type Selected Brands/Products. See how to add Selected Brands, Products and Categories Targeting in the Campaign Builder.

Linking Media Campaigns/Campaign Items and Brands mainly helps with reporting and also distinguishes between two types of "Brands" by filling in the type field.

 

  • Brand (i.e. “HairColour Professionals” Brand)

  • Product (the actual advertised product, i.e. "RedHairColour")

  • Category (Hair Colour)

Make sure not to confuse the Advertised Brand with the Site brands.  Learn more about  3.1.2.1 Brands.
