Hey STMers
We’re starting a new thread about
Today we’re highlighting the key aspects of creating a new DSP campaign. We don’t want to bore you with step-by-step instructions that you can find in our Documentation – we will only focus on the essentials.
Before you open any campaign, always go to the DSP tab and check how much traffic is available. We want to be transparent with you so we give you an insight into all our available inventory.

To see the available volumes you can filter the traffic by the following conditions:
Ad exchange
Ad type
Browser
Browser version
City
Connection type
Country
Creative size
Device brand
Device model
Device type
ISP
Mobile carrier
OS
OS version
Placement name
Primary content category
Region
Source type

Now that you’ve checked the precious Planning Tool you will need to fill in 4 sections when creating a new campaign.
Basic
As the names indicates there is nothing difficult in this tab for a PRO user like you. All we want to point out is that in Advertiser domain section you should put a domain of the owner of the advertised offer, not your landing page domain. This is super important for premium Ad Exchanges – if your adomain is invalid, the campaign will be rejected.
The good news for Voluum TRK users is that they can use their existing flows from previous landing pages and offers. They just need to select them from the drop down list when setting up.

Targeting
Voluum provides you with a wide variety of targeting options which cannot be found elsewhere i.e city, state, region, operating system and carriers.
Important thing to mention here is that we recently added a toggle that enables you to split your campaign by Ad Exchange and Device Type - one click, multiple campaigns ready to test!
Our Dedicated Account Managers will always recommend that you run campaigns separately per Ad Exchange and per Device as it makes optimization easier. With auto-rules the optimization gets not only easier but also faster! We’ll tell you more about auto-optimization in our next post.

Budget
Distribute your budget wisely – use daily limits per placement and control your spend.
Not sure what to bid?
No need to go back to the Planning Tool to check on bid floors and eCPM – just check the Bid Reach section to get to know the recommended bid value for 4 segments of traffic.

Creatives
This is where the magic happens. Bulk upload your creatives and type in multiple headlines. The system will create different creative sets for you with just a few clicks.

Note: Each Ad Exchange has its own requirements for creative size and headline. Hover your mouse over the blue “info” icon to see the creative requirements per specific Ad Exchange, to make sure your main image is not too small or your headline is not too long.
That’s it. Click SAVE and wait till our in-house Campaign Approval team check your campaign(s). This normally takes less than 12 hours.
Stay tuned for the next post on the Best Practices of opening and optimizing campaigns. On top of that our resident Mastermind and Head of Compliance will soon share with you a great article on how you can benefit from auto-optimization. STAY TUNED!
To sum up:
1. Transparency - you can see the whole inventory and the site names before you open a campaign
2. Quick campaign creation (4 steps)
3. Full control over the budget
4. Precise targeting (state, region, city, carriers)
4. Creatives Bulk upload (several ad sets in 5 seconds)
5. Quickest campaign approval (max 12h)

Hi @justyna Voluum dsp, have some strange things going on in VoluumDSP. Have 2 campaigns and both don't get any traffic. Have checked the settings over and over, but can't see anything wrong. Is there support availible in the weekend? One campaign does have internal bids, the other one doesn't even has internal bids.
Hey @janm82
Justyna is out of office this week. Were you able to sort this out? If not, please reach out to me via PM and I'll do my best to help.
Karolina
Hi guys (Czesc!)
Revcontent got rid of whitelists recently. It looks like all campaigns are now blacklist and RON
Are we able to run white lists on Revcontent through VoluumDSP?
Thanks
Hey @Voluum, thanks for the heads up. But it's fixed with my AM from DSP. Had an campaign ID for Taboola so that campaign would be auto approved by your content team instead of waiting for Taboola., and duplicated that campaign to other traffic sources. Wit the Taboola campaign ID in there, that was the issue.
Hey @Voluum is there an issue with Taboola? Campaigns are pending for days now...
@janm82 it's only a temporary situation.
As far as I know,
I'm sure your AM will be able to give you more info about it as well as give you updates on progress of the situation.
