How to Build a Campaign

A step-by-step guide to building a campaign in Spotify Ad Analytics

Instructions

1. Navigate to Measure > Campaigns > Create Campaign.

2. Select Campaign Type.
   1. Reporting Campaign: This is a reach and frequency campaign only. A basic live dashboard for your campaign, providing impressions, reach and frequency data. 
   2. Attribution Campaign: A campaign to measure conversions gained from your podcast campaigns. Spotify Ad Analytics helps you track conversions with the Spotify Pixel and assigns recognition evenly along the path to conversion, which is also known as a linear or partial attribution model. Attribution allows you to accurately report conversion totals of all campaigns that are measured in Spotify Ad Analytics.

   • For Advertisers: Input and select the Publisher or Network your campaign is with.
   • For Publishers: input and select the Advertiser.

      • Discount Code, Discount URL, Effective URL are optional. 
      • For Publishers: When using the "Import" feature, be sure to include all required fields in your upload. 
   
   
   b. Embedded Ads are measurable in Ad Analytics when the publisher has successfully installed the Spotify RSS Prefix.

7. For Publishers: Approve or reject campaigns that an Advertiser has built. View Pending Approvals by clicking on the Notifications bell or by navigating to Measure > Campaigns > For Review.

• • Approve - Change the campaign to reflect the media plan and/or however the publisher wants. You should always make the changes and APPROVE; the other party can always see the changes using audit log.
  • Reject - reject and let the other party know why! Rejections should be used only when it is a mistake, every other scenario should be editable, then approved.
