Challenge

When using Broadsign, one of the main challenges is to properly set up pre-configurations that allow Sales Reps and Order Managers to easily select the appropriate Ad Specs for their Campaign Items. Ad Specs typically include the medium/site where the ad will be displayed and the specific format (Ad Type) that will be used. However, creating Ad Types that have all the necessary technical and format settings for successful integration with an external system like an Ad Server can be challenging. It is important to understand how to create Ad Types and which settings need to be configured in Broadsign to ensure they work correctly.
