Overview
Ceros is an experiential content creation platform that empowers marketers and designers to create engaging, interactive, and immersive content experiences without traditional development or code. Nativo’s content management system and native ad server allows publishers and brands to deliver these experiences at scale on brands’ own sites as well as across the Nativo publisher network.
Creating a Ceros Ad
The process for creating a Ceros ad is the same as creating any other native article ad, however there are a couple of additional steps you will need to take:
1. Select your Ceros template from the Templates drop down menu on the Creative > Content tab.
🚧No Ceros Template?
If you do not have a Ceros template, reach out to your Account Manager to create and implement a Ceros template on your publication(s).
2. Now you will need to retrieve your embed code from Ceros and open our code editor, toggle the ‘code view’ mode, and then paste your Ceros embed code into the editor and save the ad.
3. Once you have saved the ad you can preview it to make sure it looks ok.
Troubleshooting Issues with the Ceros Embed
If you notice any issues with the Ceros embed code, follow the below steps to test.
Isolate the Ceros Embed
Open a text editor, and create a basic html file. Copy and paste the following into a text file and save as .html.
Basic HTML File
<html> <head></head> <body> </body> </html>
Copy the Ceros embed code and paste it between the body tags like this:
HTML file with Ceros Embed
<html> <head></head> <body> <div style='position: relative;width: auto;padding: 0 0 15.63%;height: 0;top: 0;left: 0;bottom: 0;right: 0;margin: 0;border: 0 none' id="experience-5c083bb670496" data-aspectRatio="6.4" data-mobile-aspectRatio="0.5625"><iframe allowfullscreen src='https://view.ceros.com/mcclatchy/carnival-corp-all-about-cruising/p/1' style='position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;bottom: 0;right: 0;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: 0 none;height: 100%;width: 100%' frameborder='0' class='ceros-experience'></iframe></div><script type="text/javascript" src="https://view.ceros.com/scroll-proxy.min.js"></script> </body> </html>
🚧What's the Protocol here?
Please note the src attributes in the Ceros embed file may not include the https protocol, and if they do not you may need to add https:// in front of them manually like this to get the file to work
No protocol in src url
With https protocol in src url
Once you have updated all of the src attributes, save the file as a .html file. You should now have a working standalone version of the Ceros ad.
Double click on the test file to open it in Chrome or your default web browser.
📘Did you know?
You can also test the Ceros embed code by pasting it into a 3rd party code editor like the Tryit Editor on w3schools.com.
