Adding a Native Creative
1. In the Creative section, select ‘+ new creative’ and select "Hosted Native" as the creative type within the drop down.
2. Upload at least one file (maximum of three) to serve as the main image of the native ad unit. LiveIntent recommends submitting 1 image that will run across Desktop and Mobile with approx. resolution 1200x627.
3. Upload the brand logo that will appear next to the "Ad by <Brand>" text. This is optional in The Trade Desk but highly recommended by LiveIntent to get the most branding value out of every impression.
4. Enter the name of the creative. This will only appear in The Trade Desk platform and will not show up on the actual ad unit.
5. Enter the landing page URL of the brand's homepage. This will not appear in the ad unit but is used for reporting.
