Seat Types
Depending on the service type agreed upon MSA signature, there are two types of service levels offered in Teads Ad Manager; Managed & Self Serve. Currently, there is no indicator within the TAM UI to distinguish between a Managed & Self Serve seat, so if you are unsure which service level your seat is, please reference your TAM MSA or contact your account director for confirmation before creating and editing campaigns.
TAM Managed
Client has full access and visibility to their campaigns and reporting, however Teads is creating and managing the campaign on behalf of the client. Typically there are Management fees tied to this service type, which is agreed upon prior to when an MSA is signed.
TAM Self Serve
Client has full access to the TAM platform, and is solely responsible for creating and managing their own campaigns. Clients can utilize Teads support via Intercom for any questions and troubleshooting concerns.
