Creative Editing

  • Creatives are fully editable, even if the campaign is live. You can edit logos, images, headlines, ctas, tracking urls. Updating a creative won't change creative status nor pause delivery, similar to the other types of creatives in TAM.

  • Updating a live creative won't pause delivery. However, the creative may be deactivated if the changes do not comply with our ad policies.

  • Creative content updates are applied to the campaign as soon as you save the creative. A live creative will continue delivering with the latest changes, before updating the whole campaign and even if you cancel campaign changes. Creative Editor will warn you when editing creatives on active campaigns, to prevent accidental changes.

  • Avoid making significant changes to live creatives.
