When setting up different parts of your campaigns, flights or creatives in Ad Manager, using naming conventions will help you easily search for and organise your campaigns.
The below naming conventions are suggested by Acast as the standards used by our own sales team, and we strongly recommend using these if you collaborate with our sales team on selling your inventory.
