Depending on whether your Content Hub is intended for Single or Multiple advertisers, the setup will vary. Also, depending on your particular requirements for the hub, you may have other features enabled or disabled. The following are examples of typical setup paths for both Single and Multiple Advertiser Content Hubs. Both paths begin by clicking Create Content Hub on the Content Hubs page.

Single Advertiser Example

Content Hub Settings

Type: Select Single Advertiser to curate content from one advertiser of your choosing

Ad Curation: Select Auto Enable to allow automatic selection of ads (Manually Curate is covered in the Multiple Advertiser Example)

Advertiser: Choose the advertiser whose content you wish to populate in your Content Hub

Ad Selection

No immediate action is necessary. Ads will populate approximately 45 minutes after the Content Hub is saved.

Advanced Settings

Companion Assets are optional in the Advanced Settings tab.

Make sure to hit Save once the Content Hub settings are completed.

Overview Page

Success! Your new Content Hub is now active and available to edit via the Content Hub overview page.

To preview your Content Hub and access the shareable URL, click on the dropdown menu next to Edit and select either Desktop Preview or Mobile Preview.

Multiple Advertiser Example

Content Hub Settings

Type: select Multiple Advertisers to curate content from multiple advertisers of your choosing

Ad Curation: select Manually Curate to allow manual selection of ads (Auto Enable is covered in the Single Advertiser Example)

Search Advertisers: Filter by Advertiser and/or Category to choose which advertisers’ content will appear on your Content Hub

Ads Settings

This example uses the Manually Curate mode which requires you to select specific ads that will appear on your Content Hub.

Filter for specific ads by Status, Campaign, and/or Advertiser as shown in the drop down menus.

Once filters are selected, click on the Search Ads field to manually select the filtered ads. Alternatively, you can leave the filters untouched and select from all available ads in the Search Ads field.

Once ads are manually selected, they will populate in the Ads List at the bottom of the page.

Advanced Settings

Companion Assets are optional in the Advanced Settings tab. Make sure to hit Save once the Content Hub settings are completed.

Overview Page

Success! Your new Content Hub is now active and available to edit via the Content Hub overview page.

To preview your Content Hub and access the shareable URL, click on the dropdown menu next to Edit and select either Desktop Preview or Mobile Preview.

Featured Ad(s)

To select a Featured Ad (or Ads), click on the icon next to the desired ad in the Ads List and it will move to the Featured Ad(s) list. To remove an ad from the Featured Ad(s) list, click the icon next to the ad to be removed.

If requiring custom styling to designate an ad as featured (such as a larger image or a custom disclaimer), a Featured Ad can only be supported if requested during initial setup. Also, as noted in Content Hub Integration: Featured Ads only appear on the first page and in the order selected. Sticky ads across multiple pages are not supported.

Suggested Usage of Your Content Hub

  • Native Display ads – Share the Content Hub URL as the traffic driver/landing page

  • Social networking drivers

  • CTA images within an article

  • Advertiser byline hyperlink

  • Showcase for advertisers
