Click “Next” to proceed to the “Audience” window.

Audience Section

In this section, you will configure the settings related to your targeted audience.

The values entered for Percentage Female and Percentage Male must together equal 100%. Adjust these percentages based on the gender distribution you expect to be most responsive to your campaign.

Similarly, the values for the age groups 0–12, 13–19, 20–34, 35–49, 50–64, and 65+ must also total 100%. These percentages should reflect the age ranges you believe will be most engaged with your campaign’s content.

Views per slot – Upload a CSV file containing the expected number of views per slot. Select the times of day or days of the week that you anticipate will have higher activity and assign higher view counts accordingly, ensuring your campaign plays more frequently during peak periods. If you do not yet have view data available for upload, a popup (as shown below) will appear. Simply click “OK” to apply the default values and continue to the next step.

Click Next to move to Pricing.

Pricing Section

Floor Price (CPM) – The minimum price (in euros) that the player will accept.
Soft Floor (CPM) – A value set higher than the floor price that acts as a soft cap. For example, if the floor price is €4, you may set a soft floor of €5. This allows a user to receive a discount on the player as long as the resulting price remains between €4 and €5.
Max Discount – The highest discount a user can receive. In this example, the maximum discount would be €4 (10%).

Click Next to proceed to Opening Hours.

Opening Hours Section

In the Opening Hours section, you can define the specific times during which your player should run the campaign. This includes selecting both the hours of the day and the days of the week when the campaign will be active.

To configure this, simply click on any day of the week—for example, Monday—and a timetable window will open. From there, you can select the hours during which you expect your audience to most likely encounter your campaign.

You may then choose to copy this timetable to weekdays, weekends, or all days, or you can set individual schedules for each day by selecting them separately.

Once you finalize the timetable according to your preferences, the window will appear similar to the example below, with the active hours highlighted in blue.
