Overview
This page outlines the process for adding new creatives and performing a bulk upload in the Beeswax UI. Creatives can be created using one of four template types: Banner, Video, Native, or Audio. These templates define the format of the creative to be associated with the line item. The Creative Bulk Upload feature enables the upload of a zip file containing images or a spreadsheet of tags, which automatically generates Creative Assets and their corresponding Creatives. Each valid image in the zip file or each tag in the spreadsheet will be used to create these assets and creatives.
Create a New Creative
- Navigate to Trafficking > Creatives > then clicking New Creative at the top right of the list view. Additionally, creatives can be created by clicking the button, then clicking Creative at the top right of the UI.
- A window will appear with the following fields to complete:
Field Name Description Advertiser* Associate the creative with a particular advertiser by selecting an advertiser from the dropdown menu. Advertisers can be selected from any that are created on this account. Creative Name* Give the Creative a name that is relevant to its purpose. An example is: "Spring Banner Creative" Creative Type* Select the type of creative; Banner, Video, Native, or Audio. Creative Template Creative templates are used to build different types of creatives. For example, to create a banner ad where Beeswax hosts and serves the images, select “Banner Image”. To create a banner ad where a Javascript tag is provided to Beeswax via the client, select “Banner JS Tag." - Next, a screen will appear with four tabs to navigate through in order to complete the creative setup; General, Line Item Association, Summary, and Activity Log.

The General tab contains all relevant information about the creative. Depending on the creative template selected, the General tab workflow may appear different. Please use the directory below to view which fields need to be completed for a corresponding template.

Auto Detect for Creatives
The Auto-Detect feature automatically identifies and applies specific creative attributes to the Creative Attributes workflow section when setting up a creative using a VAST tag. This feature ensures that the correct creative attributes are selected, which can improve the chances of winning an auction by meeting the required creative specifications. It also supports Creative Bulk Upload for videos, where it automatically detects properties in each VAST tag and applies them to the corresponding creative in the bulk upload process.The attributes detected include:
- Video MIME Types
- Video API
- Video Bit Rate
- Video Ad Duration
Supported Creative Types
Auto-detection is supported for the following creative types:
- VAST Wrapper
- Native Video App Install (VAST/VPAID Wrapper)
- Native Video Content (VAST/VPAID Wrapper)
Interaction with Existing Field Values
The detected attributes interact with existing field values as follows:
- Video Ad Duration and Video API: Detected values will replace any existing values.
- Video MIME Types and Video Bit Rate: Detected values will be added to any existing values.
For example, if the Video Ad Duration is manually set to 15 seconds but the detected value is 30 seconds, clicking the "Detect Attributes" button will update the field to 30 seconds. To finalize the update, clicking Save is required to apply the detected attributes.

Creative Weighting
Creative Weighting enables precise budget allocation across creatives associated with a line item. For example, when creative A demonstrates higher effectiveness than creative B, creative weighting can be configured to serve creative A twice as frequently as creative B.
Creative weighting cannot be applied across creatives with different sizes or placement types.
Process for Setting Up Creative Weighting
- Initiate a new line item by selecting the "+ New" button > "Line Item" or edit an existing line item by clicking the pencil icon adjacent to the line item.
- In the line item overview, select 'Weighted' from the 'Creative Weighting Method' dropdown.
'Random' remains the default behavior, which serves associated creatives randomly.
- Associate creatives with the line item and assign a value between 1 and 100 for each creative to determine its relative serving weight. Weights will serve in proportion to each other. Example: Assigning creative "A" a weight of 2 and creative "B" a weight of 1 means "A" will serve twice as often as "B" (2:1 ratio).
- Select Save & Close to finalize the configuration.
