How do I setup a companion ad in video ad serving?
A companion ad runs along with a VAST video ad (pre-roll, mid-roll or post-roll) to provide a more integrated experience for viewers. To setup, you add a companion positioning restriction to show another ad together with a video ad.Setup
- Click on a video ad
- Click on tab "Restrictions", click tab "Add"
- Choose type "Companion/Competitive Restriction"
- Choose another ad as companion, which could be an image banner ad, a SWF/Flash ad, a text link ad, or a Rich-Media/HTML ad
- Click "Save" button to tie the companion ad with the linear/non-linear ad
Integration with Video Player
If a pre-roll video ad has a companion ad, it is automatically included in the VAST call. You only need to specify the correct container ID and the dimension. Below is an example for JWPlayer:advertising: {
client: "vast",
tag: "http://g.adspeed.net/ad.php?do=vast..."
companiondiv: {
id: "MyCompanionDIV",
width: 300,
height: 250
}
}
Another example for FlowPlayer:
"ads":{
"schedule":[{
"position":"pre-roll",
"server":{
"type":"direct",
"tag":"http://g.adspeed.net/ad.php?do=vast..."
}
}],
"companions":[{
"id":"MyCompanionDIV",
"width":300,
"height":250
}]
