Create an advertiser

Follow these steps to create a new advertiser in Display & Video 360.

You must have admin access to a Display & Video 360 partner to create a new advertiser.

1. From the Advertisers tab of your Display & Video 360 partner, click Create advertiser.
2. Enter the following basic details:
   1. Name of the advertiser.
   2. A full and valid website (for example: "https://www.example.com"). Enter a website owned by your business and not a page on a publisher site, like a YouTube channel, Facebook page, or app store page.

   3. Select the advertiser currency. This can't be updated once you've saved the advertiser.

3. Click Edit to select a billing profile. Once you're done, select Apply.
   Note: Advertisers in France must select a billing profile that's compliant with the Sapin Law. For help,

      2. If not, select "Third-party ad servers only".
   2. Click Edit to select the attribution settings for the advertiser.

      3. Select Apply.
   3. (If you use Campaign Manager 360) Enter your Campaign Manager 360 site settings. You can create a new, linked site if you don't have one set up already, or you can enter the ID of your site(s). The placements in this site will be available as creatives in Display & Video 360. Learn more
   4. (Optional if you use Campaign Manager 360) Select additional measurement settings for different types of data to appear in Campaign Manager 360 reporting.
   5. Select Apply.
5. (Optional) Select any authorizations that are needed.
6. (Optional) Under “YouTube and Demand Gen settings”, set your advertiser’s business name and logo in the “Business name & logo” section:
   1. Enter your business name in the “Business name” field.
   2. Select Add logo and choose the file you want to upload as your logo.
7. Click Create.

The new advertiser will now appear in the list of advertisers in your partner.
