4.20.1.11 [Freewheel] Advanced Targeting in Campaign Builder

Challenges

How to set up advanced targeting as a combination of inventory and video targeting for FreeWheel items.


Solution

This feature allows users to configure Advanced Targeting (Content Targeting in Freewheel).
Select Video and Inventory Targeting for Freewheel in ADvendio, using the existing “Adserver Targeting” tree Categories.
The implementation supports logical operators such as AND/OR, enabling precise targeting configurations to be applied.

Supported Targeting Option

Freewheel supports a maximum of three groups, which can include IDs from both Inventory and Video targeting types. Additionally, one exclusion group is supported to exclude certain content from the targeting logic.
NO Remaining Items options available

How to select Advanced Targeting

  • Enter Campaign Builder ‘Targeting’

  • Select the supported targeting types belonging to the categories of Inventory Targeting or Video Content we want to choose later in the Targeting Groups

  • The accepted targeting is described here

  • Once selected we need to enter the ‘Advanced Targeting’ tab

  • Here we can create the Targeting groups we required

  • Within each group, users can choose the previously selected targeting types

  • Users can also define whether the groups themselves should be combined using AND or OR, with the exclusion group being an exception, as it always acts as an exclusion.

 

Supported Targeting Types (Freewheel’s Network Items)

  • Inventory Targeting: Site, Site Section, Site Group (Other types are not supported).

  • Video Content Targeting: Video, Video Series, Video Group.

  1. Targeting Groups Logic:
    The UI will allow users to define Targeting groups and specify if IDs within each group are related by AND/OR operators.

Dependency Deletion:
If a value used in the advanced targeting is deleted in the inventory or video content targeting section, it will be removed from the advanced targeting as well.
