Linking creatives to audiences

For a referral creative to be displayed to users, it must be linked to an active audience.

There is a many-to-many relationship between creatives and audiences, meaning:

  • The same creative can be linked to multiple audiences
  • Multiple creatives can be linked to the same audience

Creatives and audiences all belong to a campaign. To link or unlink creatives, you first need to select the campaign you are modifying by clicking the campaign card on the Campaign Overview page.

Creative Link/Unlink to Audiences

Linking a creative to an audience

  1. From the Campaign Details page, find the creative that you want to link. In the Actions column, click More actions > Link to audiences.

Creative Link/Unlink to Audiences

  1. Select the audience you want to link. From the Audiences field, you can search for audiences related to the campaign.

    As you select audiences to link, they appear in the list under the search field. If you make an error, use the minus icon to remove an audience.

Creative Link/Unlink to Audiences

  1. Click Save. The window closes, and the creative is immediately linked to the chosen audiences.

Unlinking a creative from an audience

  1. From the Campaign Details page, find the creative that you want to link. In the Actions column, click More actions > Link to audiences.

Creative Link/Unlink to Audiences

  1. Underneath the search field you should see all audiences linked to the creative. Click the minus icon to unlink an audience.

Creative Link/Unlink to Audiences

  1. Click Save. The window closes, and the audience is immediately unlinked from the creative.

A note on linking vs. status

Linking (or unlinking) creatives and audiences is different from pausing or resuming a creative or pausing or resuming an audience. Specifically:

  • Linking a creative to an audience associates a creative to an audience. It does not necessarily mean the creative starts receiving impressions for that audience.

    • If a creative is paused, linking an audience does not automatically activate the creative.
    • If an audience is paused, linking an active creative does not necessarily activate the audience.
    • An audience is automatically paused if it has no active creatives linked. Therefore linking an active creative results in the audience becoming active.
    • If both a creative and audience are active, the creative starts receiving impressions from that audience as soon as they are linked.
  • Conversely, unlinking a creative from an audience does not necessarily pause the audience or the creative.

    • If a creative is linked to multiple active audiences, and it is unlinked from only one audience, it continues to receive impressions from the active audiences.
    • If a creative is linked to only one audience, and it is unlinked from that audience, the creative is automatically paused.
    • If the audience is linked to only one active creative, and the active creative is unlinked from the audience, the audience is automatically paused.
