Third-party ad tag modification instructions

While creating campaigns on the LiveIntent Platform, you may be using third party ad tags. The content below provides modification instructions, respective to the ad server you’re using, including: DoubleClick Campaign Manager (DCM), Atlas, Sizmek, Mediaplex/Conversant, Medialets,Trueffect, PointRoll, CAKE, AdGear, Bridgetrack and Flashtalking.

Please note: Third party ad tags have to be formatted according to the instructions in order to be compatible with the Liveintent Platform.

 

Ad Specifications 

 

All LiveIntent served ads must be images within the following format:
  • .jpg
  • .png
  • .gif or animated .gif
Recommended ad sizes:
  • 300x250
  • 300x1050
  • 728x90
  • 160x600
  • 300x600
  • 468x60
  • 970x250
As a best practice, LiveIntent prefers to host the image and implement third party tracking tags within our user interface. For each placement, LiveIntent will need: 
  • The image file
  • A click tracker
  • A 1x1 impression pixel
If you prefer to host the image:
  • LiveIntent will use the standard tags
  • If standard tags are not available, Javascript tags will be used. Please note, LiveIntent will have to break the Javascript tag and utilize the no script section.

Please Note: All third party hosted tags can result in a high impression or click discrepancy. As a result, it's recommended that LiveIntent host the image and implement third party tracking tags within our UI.
