This section helps you set up each Native Ad accordingly based on their specificities.

Adding Samsung Native TV Creatives

  1. In the upper right-hand corner, click on +New Creative and select one of the Samsung Native TV creative types in the list.
  2. Click on one of the following links for more details:

Creative Sections

Each of the Native TV creative types has their own specificities. However, the following sections are common to all.

General Settings

  • Name: Enter a name for the creative.
  • Advertiser: Enter an advertiser’s name or select an advertiser from the drop-down list.
  • Language: Enter a language or select one from the drop-down list. Available languages are Chinese, Danish, English, Finnish, French, Norwegian, Spanish, and Swedish. At the flight level, further restrictions can be applied to only deliver the impressions of the creative to browsers that have the same language in their setting. If Any is selected for language, this will have no effect.
  • External Label: This is a free-form section and can be left blank. An external label can be provided to facilitate reporting across different systems. After impressions have been delivered, reports pivoted around this field can be pulled from the Delivery extract reports.

Click Action

The following click actions are supported and can be selected from the drop-down list.

Website

Since Samsung TV's web browser capabilities depend on the version of Tizen, the latest HTML/CSS/Javascript features you use on your website may not be supported.
We highly recommend that you read the Website rendering on Samsung TVs article to optimize your website and avoid a poor user experience for viewers.

This action will open the Samsung TV’s internal browser and browse to the specified URL.

Selecting a country will specify which country you wish to enable the click action as described. This will ensure that the applications from the respective drop-down list are available in the selected country. This also ensures that when multiple applications have the same name in different countries, then App ID available in the selected country will populate the applications list. However, selecting the country will not restrict all impressions to the selected country.
