To start a new ad: at the top of the Dashboard, select the purple ‘Create New Ad’ button.
A.) Ad Type:
- Video – Use this section for
- The primary video asset for RRM ads (see Uploading Video section)
- In-Stream (video-only) units needing VAST/VPAID tags (see In-Stream section)
- Rich Media – Multi-screen rich media units (safe to use for all RRM & animated ads)
- Mobile, Social, and Native – Do not use these types
B.) Ad Unit:
Select the type of ad unit. You can then configure:
- Configure a base only, expansion only, or both base & expansion

You can’t put two 300×250 base units under the Medium Rectangle. You also can’t make two 600×250 Expansion units under the same unit title either. Some titles (ie: IAB Pushdown) come with functionalities like auto-expansion built in.
