Overview
Native offers are a set of defining parameters for delivery that associate to native creatives in a one-to-many fashion, meaning a single native offer may apply to multiple creatives. A native creative is a form of creative that would blend in with the ad experience or site. For example, a native creative could be a banner ad that fits the color and style of a website, so it matches uniformly with the content. Native is a format that could be both the creative type and the inventory type. In order for a native creative to serve, it must match a corresponding type of native inventory. Native offers are available to help uploaded creatives match inventory with native offer specifications. Some common assets of a native offer include a title, description offer, and call to action that can be applied to many different creatives in order to improve efficiency. Once the native offer is created, it must be associated to a creative object for line item association and additional creative details.
