# 3rd Party Tracking # IAS: Campaign Tracking & Process Overview #### **Overview** **Integral Ad Science (IAS)** is an American technology company that provides solutions for the verification of digital advertising. This article provides an overview on workflow and the roles of both agencies and the Eskimi platform in the provision and implementation of IAS trackers: --- #### **Campaign Setup and Optimisation Workflow**
**Steps** **Clarification** **Responsibilities**
**Step 1:** Associate Eskimi DSP and Eskimi Media Partner with the IAS account. \*This step needs to be completed once for each agency's IAS account. If the account was already associated before, move to step 2. With Eskimi now integrated into IAS as a DSP, clients can easily request association with their IAS account for streamlined tracking and optimization. By linking Eskimi DSP and Eskimi media partner with the agency's IAS account, all future tags created for Eskimi DSP will automatically include DSP internal macros. This facilitates tracking metrics per custom segments provided by the DSP, enhancing campaign optimization. To initiate the association process, clients can reach out to[ IAS support](https://manual.eskimi.com/helpcenter.integralads.com) using the following request: **"Hello,** **We would like to associate Eskimi DSP (ID: 77) and Eskimi media partner (ID: 9688) with our team/account."** Client / Agency
**Step 2:** Create IAS Tag \*Ensure that the selected type of tag aligns with campaign goals and supports the measurement of KPIs. For further details on tags, refer to the **[provided article](https://manual.eskimi.com/books/3rd-party-tracking/page/ias-video-and-display-trackers-glossary)**. **Scenario 1:** Tags that do NOT require Eskimi AdServing or future wrapping (display monitoring tags, impression 1x1 pixel tracker video) - Follow the [Tag Manager user Guide](https://helpcenter.integralads.com/article/tag-manager-guide) to prepare the tags. **Scenario 2:** Video tag that requires Eskimi AdServing and future wrapping with IAS tags (Wrapped Video) - Provide mp4 file to Eskimi AdOps at adops@eskimi.com. - Eskimi AdOps Team will upload the mp4 file to the Ad Server. - Eskimi AdOps Team will provide the VAST URI back to you. - Agency utilise the provided VAST URI to prepare wrapped video tags following the - [Tag Manager - User Guide.](https://helpcenter.integralads.com/article/tag-manager-guide) Client / Agency
**Step 3:** Provide information about Brand's KPIs for IAS and Brand requirements To ensure that the campaign effectively meets its KPIs, alignment on KPIs and requirements is crucial. Therefore, the agency/client is responsible for providing such details, including brand safety guidelines and campaign IAS KPIs, to the Ad Ops Team in the email thread together with [other campaign details.](https://manual.eskimi.com/link/16#bkmrk-campaign-requirement)Client / Agency
**Step 4:** Provide IAS trackers to Eskimi AdOps The agency/client is responsible for providing accurate IAS trackers, ensuring their reliability and relevance for campaign KPIs measurement. Client / Agency
**Step 5:** Correct implementation of the tag Eskimi AdOps is responsible for the correct implementation of IAS trackers, maintaining consistency across diverse campaigns Eskimi DSP AdOps
**Step 6:** Setup of daily auto-reporting The agency/client will receive campaign data in IAS reports within 48 hours from the campaign start time, at which point it is possible to export the IAS report. It is the agency's responsibility to either set up auto-reporting or provide consistent reporting containing mandatory information for campaign optimization to the Eskimi AdOps team at adops@eskimi.com. The provided report should include data for the total campaign per day, as well as data per apps/sites or placement\_id macro. For more detailed report information, please refer to the instructions provided in [this article.](https://manual.eskimi.com/link/439#bkmrk-page-title) Client / Agency
**Step 7:** Check reports daily and optimise for IAS KPIs Eskimi offers the capability to optimise campaigns based on client KPIs using insights from IAS reports. Here's an outline of the optimisation process and requirements: 1. The agency receives IAS reports once tags are implemented and the campaign has been live for more than 48 hours. 2. The agency shares the report with required segments with Eskimi AdOps. 3. Eskimi proceeds to optimise the campaign by either excluding low-performing segments or including high-performing segments. These segments typically revolve around apps/sites or placement\_id. Eskimi DSP AdOps
**Step 8:** Troubleshoot \*Applied only when there are significant discrepancies between Eskimi DSP vs IAS report. Upon checking reports and identifying discrepancies, the following actions need to be taken in the established order until the root of the issue is identified: 1. Eskimi AdOps is responsible for checking if the tag was implemented correctly and/or if there's tag duplication. 2. Eskimi AdOps is responsible for exporting the daily campaign report and providing a preview page where tags are firing for future investigation. 3. The Client/Agency is responsible for double-checking and confirming that there were no mistakes in tag creation. 4. The Client/Agency is responsible for contacting IAS support for further investigation Eskimi DSP AdOps / Client / Agency

**Disclaimer: Eskimi's Accountability** - Eskimi assumes no responsibility for discrepancies or issues in measurement capabilities found in IAS reports if they originate from areas under the control of the agency/client. While Eskimi may provide support and suggestions in various scenarios, the ultimate responsibility lies with the agency/client based on designated areas of responsibility. Therefore, Eskimi cannot be held liable for compensation related to such circumstances.

--- #### **FAQ** **Does Eskimi support IAS trackers?** Yes. Eskimi supports monitoring pixel trackers, as well as monitoring creative tags. Eskimi also supports blocking tags that prevent showing the ad visuals in forbidden content. **Do you have the ability to optimise the campaign based on viewability?** Yes. We track viewability metrics in our internal reports, and with this data campaigns can be optimised accordingly. However, it's also important for us to receive IAS reports to monitor any discrepancies and optimise the viewability of IAS data, as the measurement technologies are slightly different. **Do you have the ability to optimise the campaign based on brand safety?** Yes. To optimise, we'll need a report from IAS based on which optimisation will be done. Because Eskimi isn't measuring Brand Safety KPIs internally. **How can we track viewability with IAS trackers in banner and video campaigns?** Video IAS measurement - In order to capture Viewability data when running a VAST campaign, each video must be wrapped within an IAS tag. This tag, within IAS, is referred to as Multimedia Tag Monitoring. It's important to note that employing this tracker might result in the exclusion of certain traffic, as only video traffic compatible with VPAID/OMID will qualify for viewability measurement. Display IAS measurement - Viewability data can be gathered by implementing the tracker in the form of a Javascript tag. **How Eskimi can optimise IAS KPIs?** We need daily reports from IAS, based on which we will create a black-list/ white-list and apply them to the campaign as optimisation. [Here](https://manual.eskimi.com/books/3rd-party-tracking/page/ias-report-builder-agency-account) are the instructions about expected segments in the IAS report. # 3rd Party Verification Platforms # Exploring Banner/IBV/Native Integrations within 3rd Party Verification Platforms ##### **Introduction** In the dynamic landscape of digital advertising, where capturing and retaining users' attention is paramount, the role of third-party verification platforms has become increasingly vital.

**IAS Solution****Explanation****Requirements****Measure Viewability****Measure Invisible URLs****Measure Impressions** **Measure Brand Safety**
Multimedia Tag Monitoring (Wrapped Video)Video tracking tag that will work across desktop, CTV, mobile & in-app. Can measure viewability, set to not blockRequires a VPAID or OMID player/publisher support & 3rd party ad servingYesYesYesYes
Multimedia Tag Blocking (Wrapped Video)Video tracking tag that will work across desktop, CTV, mobile & in-app. Can measure viewability, set to blockRequires a VPAID or OMID player/publisher support & 3rd party ad servingYesYesYesYes
Unified Video 1x1 PixelVideo tracking tag that will work across desktop, CTV, mobile & in-app. Cannot measure viewability or blockRequires a VAST player & 3rd party ad servingNoNoYesYes
Ensuring accurate measurement of viewability and other metrics with IAS requires using **Wrapped Video Creative**. This is because certain metrics, such as those measured by JavaScript (JS), cannot be captured using the traditional 1x1 pixel. At the same time, the VAST video format also doesn't support a separate JS impression tracker, so Multimedia Tag Monitoring is necessary, wrapping the video within the Creative Tag for accurate measurement. However, in cases where the goal is to measure pure impressions to verify discrepancies, a 1x1 pixel (impression tracker) is sufficient. This tracker, known as "**Unified Video Pixel**" can be employed for such purposes. Additionally, It's essential to use VPAID/OMID-compatible video inventory to enable IAS to measure viewability effectively. However, remember that inventory compatible with VPAID/OMID may limit the overall supply available to the campaign. --- #### **Trackers for Display:**
**IAS Solution****Explanation****Measure Viewability****Measure Invisible URLs****Measure Impressions** **Measure Brand Safety**
Blocking Creative TagDisplay tags with blocking. Requires JS supportYesYesYesYes
Monitoring JS Display tags without blocking. Requires JS supportYesYesYesYes
Monitoring 1x1 pixel Display tags without blocking.NoNoYesYes
Viewability measurements are possible with JavaScript tags only. However, some publishers or exchanges might not support this format. In such cases, viewability measurement by IAS wouldn't be possible. Nevertheless, 1x1 monitoring pixels can be utilized for display creatives. By using this type of tracker, IAS would be able to measure impressions to verify the total amount of served impressions. --- #### **IAS Articles:** [**User Guide - Tag Manager** ](https://helpcenter.integralads.com/article/tag-manager-guide)- a comprehensive guide on how to create different Tags using an IAS self-service account **[Multimedia Tag](https://helpcenter.integralads.com/article/uvt-guide) -** overview of Multimedia tag capabilities, it is creation and limitations.

# IAS: Report Builder - Agency account #### **Introduction** In this article it is described regarding auto-report set up from IAS (Integral Ad Sience) vereficator. Both reports are needed in case to be able to proceed with needed optimisation of campaign. Which is crucial for reaching good campaign KPIs and troubleshoot on data descripency that usually appears due to different methodology of measurement between DSP and 3rd party verification. [Total report per campaign](https://manual.eskimi.com/link/439#bkmrk-total-campaign-repor) - this report is needed for the evaluation of campaign performance, and troubleshoot discrepancy of measured stats. Report should include campaign or/and placement as main segment split. It also should include all important KPIs and be established for period from the start till the end day of campaign. [Report per domains/apps](https://manual.eskimi.com/link/439#bkmrk-site%2Fapps-report-ste) - this report is needed for KPIs evaluation across different sites/apps and helps to optimise campaign for reaching better KPIs by excluding site and apps with lower performance. This report should include dates, campaigns and show last 30 days stats.

Keep in mind that it is possible to prepare auto-report only when campaigns measured some ads. Otherwise, you will not able to select needed campaigns for your report. Therefore, Plan to prepare auto-report on the 3rd day after campaigns started, as it takes up to 48h for IAS to collect data on their side.

--- #### **Total campaign report step-by-step set up guide** 1\. First of all open your IAS account and go to "Build New Report" menu ## **[![Screenshot 2023-08-11 at 17.23.23.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/scaled-1680-/aiuTTFs5HpvU3DCf-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-23-23.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/aiuTTFs5HpvU3DCf-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-23-23.png)** 2\. In this menu you need to establish report name (keep the name clear possible for yourself and Eskimi DSP team). For "Data Range" menu select "Campaign to Date: From Last Active Campaign" and scroll down till the "Report type" section. ## **[![Screenshot 2023-08-11 at 17.23.33.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/scaled-1680-/o6R9Takg86GbU9rY-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-23-33.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/o6R9Takg86GbU9rY-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-23-33.png)** 3\. In Report Type section you will need to create 4 different sheets as it is shown on the screen below. You can name sheets accordingly "Daily Campaigns", "Total Campaigns", "Daily Placements", "Total Placements". Each sheet will be presented in same xls file which will be generated automatically. Start with one sheet creation, select "Performance Report" and scroll down till "Dimensions" section.

**Tip 1:** Create 1 sheet at first, for example "Daily Campaigns". And move to next steps. Later on the sheet might be copied so it will simplify process of creation as you will not need go from the scratch on all next steps for each separate sheet.

**Tip 2:** If you are using separate tracker per each placement, then create reports per placements as well, so it will be 4 sheets in total. However if you are measuring performance per campaign level, it would be enough to create only 2 sheets which is "Daily campaigns" and "Total campaigns"

## **![Screenshot 2023-08-11 at 17.34.25.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/scaled-1680-/G9vJAQpCiuwIqthU-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-34-25.png)** 4\. For the sheet "Daily Campaigns" for Dimensions section you need to select "Media Partners", "Campaigns", "Dates". Select dimensions in same order. Also once dimensions are selected specify media partners (it should be Eskimi), also specify campaigns (you need to select campaigns that you want to include for reporting", and as last step select "by day" for Date dimension. In this case IAS will generate report per selected campaign with daily split. Once this done scroll down till the section "Minimum Total Tracked Ads Filter". ## **[![Screenshot 2023-08-11 at 17.25.42.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/scaled-1680-/k2YQcsR1BxJuq0zF-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-25-42.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/k2YQcsR1BxJuq0zF-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-25-42.png)** 5\. In the "minimum total tracked ads filter" section you need to select "all tracked ads". In this case all measured impressions for dimensions you selected above will be presented in the report. Once selected you need scroll down till "Metric" section ## **[![Screenshot 2023-08-11 at 17.26.01.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/scaled-1680-/Zzv8q3iWq0hTvzMx-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-26-01.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/Zzv8q3iWq0hTvzMx-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-26-01.png)** 6\. In "Metrics" section you need to enable metrics which are important to for campaign analysis. Below you can see our suggestions regarding metrics that should be selected. Please include them to any report you are creating for Eskimi team. In case you would like to know definition of the metrics, please refer to [article prepared by IAS: "Advertise Metrics Clossary"](https://helpcenter.integralads.com/topics/advertiser-agency/advertiser-metrics-glossary/advertiser-metrics-glossary)

7\. At this step you can move back to the[ 3rd point](https://manual.eskimi.com/link/439#bkmrk-3.-in-report-type-se) and duplicate the sheet, in this case all settings will be already preselected and will not require additional selection from scratch. Once new sheets are duplicated, you need to rename them accordingly.[![Screenshot 2023-08-11 at 17.34.29.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/scaled-1680-/ksZXnEXk09ny8eup-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-34-29.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-08/ksZXnEXk09ny8eup-screenshot-2023-08-11-at-17-34-29.png) 8\. After duplicating sheets open the one you want to adjust 1 by 1. At this step you need to change dimensions per each sheet. The sheet called "Total Camapaigns" should have selected dimensions as on screen below. Once dimension selected move to another sheet.

The only question might remains is how to be with future campaigns. In this case there are several options: ##### **Option One** If you are planning future campaigns to be tracked in IAS as well, you can simple edit previously created report by selecting new campaigns in the "Dimension" section and adjusting the Delivery period accordingly. Keep in mind that this should be done for both reports and for each sheet separately. ##### **Option Two** You can also create new report by simple coping from previously created. For new report you need to select new campaigns that will be tracked with IAS as well. In this case, report setting require only several adjustments in "Dimension" and "Delivery" sections. Keep in mind that this should be done for both reports and for each sheep accordingly. # MOAT # Rich Media & MOAT measurement (external) Maximizing media spends and ensuring ads are displayed in a fraud-free, brand-safe environment is a priority for many advertisers. To achieve this, brands globally are turning to third-party measurement solutions like MOAT. In this article, we will explore how MOAT measurement works with an innovative ad solution called Rich Media. --- **Defining Rich Media** Rich Media refers to HTML ads created by Eskimi's in-house creative team. These ads are developed using proprietary tools and are not reliant on third-party software. --- ##### **Understanding MOAT Measurement** MOAT measurement is a third-party tool that utilizes JavaScript tags to enable brands to measure ad impressions based on various parameters such as invalid traffic (IVT), brand safety, viewability, and more. It serves the purpose of verifying supply quality and making necessary adjustments based on the gathered data. --- ##### **Integration of Rich Media Ads with MOAT Measurement** Rich Media ads created by Eskimi can be effectively utilized in conjunction with MOAT impression trackers, namely JavaScript and Pixel tags. These third-party trackers are implemented by Eskimi's ad operations team prior to the campaign launch, ensuring seamless functionality. --- ##### **Enabling Custom Ad-Finding Logic in MOAT** For optimal performance of Rich Media ads, it is essential to have MOAT's custom ad-finding logic enabled for your specific MOAT account. This customized logic, implemented by MOAT, plays a vital role in accurately measuring various ad metrics such as impressions, viewability, invalid traffic (IVT), brand safety, and other relevant parameters. With the custom ad-finding logic in place, Rich Media ads can be located with the highest degree of accuracy. --- ##### **Workflow for Implementation** If your brand intends to incorporate Rich Media ads into your media mix, it is advisable to contact our dedicated MOAT account manager and inform them of your plan to run Rich Media ads through Eskimi. The MOAT account management team will facilitate the enabling of the ad-finding logic for your MOAT account. These changes need to be implemented only once. While the implementation of an ad-finding logic for a specific account will take 2-4 working days. The client should also inform MOAT of the following: *- Are they running display and/or video activity?* *- Which environments/devices are they running activity in (Desktop, Mobile web, or mobile in-app)?* *- What is their preferred reporting hierarchy and corresponding Eskimi macros?* *[![Screenshot 2023-05-18 at 16.05.10.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/scaled-1680-/kuA2LzyyFnSX26KC-screenshot-2023-05-18-at-16-05-10.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/kuA2LzyyFnSX26KC-screenshot-2023-05-18-at-16-05-10.png)* Should you require further clarification on the workflows, please feel free to reach out to your dedicated account manager, sales representative, or ad operations (adops) team at Eskimi. # Rich Media & MOAT measurement (internal) Maximizing media spends and ensuring ads are displayed in a fraud-free, brand-safe environment is a priority for many advertisers. To achieve this, brands globally are turning to third-party measurement solutions like MOAT.

Implementation of these trackers should follow the manual instructions provided at this link: [https://manual.eskimi.com/books/3rd-party-tracking/page/3rd-party-trackers](https://manual.eskimi.com/books/3rd-party-tracking/page/3rd-party-trackers). To ensure optimal performance of Rich Media ads, the MOAT account management team needs to enable custom ad-finding logic specific to the client planning to run Rich Media ads through Eskimi. --- ##### **Explaining MOAT Custom Ad-Finding Logic** MOAT has implemented custom ad-finding logic specifically for Eskimi's Rich Media ads to ensure accurate measurement of ad performance, including impressions, viewability, IVT, and brand safety. This custom logic was introduced to address tracking issues faced by MOAT when measuring Rich Media ads, which resulted in a discrepancy of over 40% between the two systems. The new logic has significantly improved tracking accuracy, reducing the discrepancy to 6%. --- ##### **Workflow Overview** The standards mentioned above are implemented on an individual client basis by a dedicated MOAT team. Therefore, Eskimi's client-facing teams must establish effective communication with the client before launching any Rich Media campaign with MOAT tags. The communication process should follow these steps: 1. **Account Management/Sales:** Confirm with the client if they intend to utilize MOAT measurement solution for Rich Media advertising. If the client plans to do so, they should contact their MOAT representatives and inform them that their Rich Media ads will be run through Eskimi's DSP. The client should also inform MOAT of the following: *- Are they running display and/or video activity?* *- Which environments/devices are they running activity in (Desktop, Mobile web, or mobile in-app)?* *- What is their preferred reporting hierarchy and corresponding Eskimi macros?* The MOAT custom ad-finding logic supports Rich Media ad formats listed in the "Approved Rich Media" section. If a specific format is not listed, it requires additional approval from the MOAT team. The approval process typically takes 1-3 working days. Share the preview link with your client and their assigned MOAT account manager. 2. **MOAT Team:** The MOAT team will enable the custom ad-finding logic at the customer level. The client only needs to reach out to MOAT once. The logic will be activated within 2-4 working days. 3. **Adops:** Adops will set up a campaign using the Rich Media ads and MOAT trackers. Adops should verify the proper firing of the trackers through the preview page, following the instructions provided in the article at this link: [https://manual.eskimi.com/books/3rd-party-tracking/page/3rd-party-trackers](https://manual.eskimi.com/books/3rd-party-tracking/page/3rd-party-trackers). Share the preview page with the client and, ideally, with the dedicated MOAT account manager for confirmation that the trackers are firing correctly and the ads are being found. 4. **Tech Support:** Any concerns related to discrepancies should be addressed through the tech support channel.

The following list represents the Rich Media ads that do not require MOAT to create a custom ad-finding logic. If the client plans to run advertising using any of the formats listed, they only need to inform their MOAT account management that they will be utilizing Eskimi DSP. **3D Dancing:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/FAlqlqop](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/FAlqlqop) **Animated Cubes Interactive:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/A7lqlqqr](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/A7lqlqqr) **3D Cube Horizontal:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/2Dlqlqqq](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/2Dlqlqqq) **3D Cubes:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/E2lqlqqp](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/E2lqlqqp) **Parallax:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/27lqlqqo](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/27lqlqqo) **Pixel Pages:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/5Clqlqqn](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/5Clqlqqn) **Page Flip:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/56lqlqqm](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/56lqlqqm) **Blinds:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/73lqlqql](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/73lqlqql) **Card Swipe:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/93lqlqpt](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/93lqlqpt) **Carousel:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/7Elqlqps](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/7Elqlqps) **Rotating Billboard:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/E2lqlqpr](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/E2lqlqpr) **3D Rotating:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/46lqlqpq](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/46lqlqpq) **Shake & Break:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/02lqlqpp](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/02lqlqpp) **Countdown:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/E3lqlqpo](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/E3lqlqpo) **Animated 3D Cubes:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/C6lqlqpn](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/C6lqlqpn) **3D Triangle:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/5Alqlqpm](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/5Alqlqpm) **3D Cube Vertical:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/AClqlqpl](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/AClqlqpl) **Scratch to Reveal:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/5Elqlqpk](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/5Elqlqpk) **Parallax 3D Cube:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/67lqlqot](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/67lqlqot) **Parallax 3D Triangle:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/7Elqlqos](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/7Elqlqos) **Glitch:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/F3lqlqor](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/F3lqlqor) **Slider:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/11lqlqoq](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/11lqlqoq) **Screentakover:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/0Alqlqrn](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/0Alqlqrn) **Floating:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/55lqlqro](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/55lqlqro) **Blow to reveal:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/3Blqlqrp](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/3Blqlqrp) **AR:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/C4lqlqrr](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/C4lqlqrr) **Calculator:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/A2lqlqsl](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/A2lqlqsl) **Tap to reveal:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/29lqlqsm](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/29lqlqsm) **Interaction:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/F3lqlqsq](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/F3lqlqsq) **Product features:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/E4lqlqss](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/E4lqlqss) **Gamification:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/F7lqlqst](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/F7lqlqst) **Weather API:** [https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/44lqlqtk](https://dsp.eskimi.com/campaign/44lqlqtk) If the ad type your clients are planning to use with MOAT measurement is not found in the list of approved Rich Media formats, it is important to inform the client and their MOAT account management that a custom ad-finding logic is required for the new ad format. As mentioned earlier, the process of creating this ad-finding logic typically takes 1-3 days for the MOAT engineering team to complete. # Banners/IBV/Rich Media & IAS measurement #### **General information about IAS Display** Integral Ad Science (IAS) is the global market leader in digital ad verification, offering technologies that drive high-quality advertising media. IAS helps digital advertisers make great impressions, ensuring ads are seen by real people in safe and suitable environments. **IAS measurement** allows deeper analytics for the programmatic campaigns. With the reporting clients will know about: **Brand safety, viewability, ad environment, invalid traffic performance**. These insights give the opportunity to optimize buying and deliver better results.
**IAS Solution****Explanation**
BlockingDisplay tags with blocking. Reures JS
MonitoringDisplay tags without blocking. Can be JS or image
If the media partner does not accept Javascript or the Javascript tag is not implemented, viewability measurements cannot be collected. \*\* Please note that 1x1 trackers cannot collect viewability and cannot be wrapped for blocking. --- #### **IAS With Eskimi DSP** Eskimi DSP can offer their clients to opt in for **IAS measurement** solution. The client has to inform their Business Managers. While BMs should confirm IAS tracker implementation with the adops who will be responsible for campaign management and optimization. From the technical stand point adops need to implement **CM pixel** as a HTML/JS impression tracker. CM pixel is a small piece of code that measures performance and sends back the information to IAS dashboard. CM pixel works for Banners, IBV and Rich Media. Keep in mind that CM pixel is a universal code that doesn't require any changes. --- #### **CM Pixel** ```javascript ``` ##### **CM Pixel Implementation Example:** You need to mark check box from as it is shown on screen-below. You can see that check-box on campaign approval page for every campaign. [![Screenshot 2023-05-24 at 15.39.26.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/scaled-1680-/lZAN6YD1PtIGq6vF-screenshot-2023-05-24-at-15-39-26.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/lZAN6YD1PtIGq6vF-screenshot-2023-05-24-at-15-39-26.png) When the CM pixel is implemented to the campaign you should see the results accumulating on IAS within 1 working day. --- ### Valuable Links **Dashboard link:** [https://reporting.integralplatform.com/uaa/login](https://reporting.integralplatform.com/uaa/login) **Support link:** [https://support.integralads.com/s/contactsupport](https://support.integralads.com/s/contactsupport) # Troubleshooting and Trackers Configuration Guides # Troubleshooting guide for 3rd party trackers ##### **How to check if the tracker is a pixel:**
Easiest way to check if the tracker you’re using is a 1x1 pixel or not is just to open it in a browser, for example:
``` https://pixel.adsafeprotected.com/jload?anId=931059&advId=Eskimi&campId={campaign_id_enc}&pubId= {site_domain_enc}{app_bundle_enc}&chanId={creative_id_enc}&placementId={placement_id} ```

not an impression pixel

``` https://pixel.adsafeprotected.com/?anId=931059&advId=Eskimi&campId={campaign_id_enc}&pubId= {site_domain_enc}{app_bundle_enc}&chanId={creative_id_enc}&placementId={placement_id} ```

correct impression pixel

From the first view these two trackers look almost identical, but they’re not, if you would open both of them in your browser you will see. You will always recognize the pixel if the browser window is a black screen with a small 1x1 white dot in the middle.

If you implement the pixel incorrectly (for example if you use the first URL) there might be huge discrepancies between us and the 3rd party platform (they might even not track anything), so it’s very important before you launch a campaign that uses 3rd party trackers to double check if the trackers are correctly implemented.
Other 3rd party pixel examples:
``` https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/trackimp/N705418.1727343ESKIMI.COM/B28985587.353603375;dc_trk_aid= 545020201;dc_trk_cid=182974786;ord=[timestamp];dc_lat=;dc_rdid=;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=;tfua=; gdpr=${GDPR};gdpr_consent=${GDPR_CONSENT_755};ltd=? ``` ``` https://track.adform.net/adfserve/?bn=60266225;1x1inv=1;srctype=3;ord={cachebuster} ``` **Some other ways to recognize if it’s a pixel:**
```javascript ```
This is a our internal IAS JS tracker, but you can extract a pixel from this tracker. Most of the tracking pixel will be placed inside the **<img>** element:
```javascript ```
If you look closely you we will that the height and the width are set to 1x1 for this element (witch almost always indicates that it’s 1x1 pixel). So just extract the URL part from this element and use it as a tracking pixel (it’s not always possible to extract the pixel from JS trackers, keep that in mind). --- ##### **How to validate that you have a 3rd party JavaScript tracker:** - The tag will be in a ` ``` However, if you run a campaign on Gadsme exchange with this pixel, then the client might have bid data discrepancies between 3rd party platform and our impressions. To avoid that, please always edit the tracker as in the example below: ```javascript ``` The pixel below doesn't have "$" before GDRP macros and the macros themselves are written in lowercase format. Also `GDPR_CONSENT_755` is changed to `gdpr_consent` (it doesn't have the "755" number). # Adform creative tag implementation (updated) The following article presents the approach how adform tags should be implemented in Eskimi DSP. 1\. Usually the tags which you will receive from client will be placed in excel file and looks similar to example below ```javascript ``` 2\. To continue tag implementation, you need to create banner type creative set, then add creative as JS/HTML banner and copy the tag from spreadsheet manually. - *When copying tags from this spreadsheet, make sure that you click inside the cell and highlight the text that you want to copy. If you select and copy the entire cell, rather than the text within it, some applications may put an extra set of quotation marks (") around the tags, causing them to function incorrectly when they're placed on the publisher's web page.* - *Don't forget to establish weight and hight for creative in DSP system* *3. Once the code is copied, you need to adjust tag with click macro in order to track clicks in campaign.* *3.1 add `;click={click_url}` into the redirect string.* *3.2 To ensure proper cache-busting, replace **\[timestamp\]** with **{CACHEBUSTER}**.* Once all 2 steps completed the tags should look like ```javascript ``` 4\. Press save and later you can link this creative to your campaign. --- **Possible issues and troubleshooting:** According to our experience we noticed that the adform create tags might be created in multiply variations. Unfortunately, sometimes the creatives might be prepared incorrectly, not follow adform requirements. Therefore sometimes you might notice that after you followed the guide of tag adjustment the tag don't track clicks properly. In such cases suggest to client double check how the creatives were created, and if they follow all adform requirements. In that scenario client can refer to adform support team, or refer to official adform documentation: The documentation of how the creative should be created below: *[https://www.adformhelp.com/s/article/UUID-ba1da05a-285e-ade0-1165-a33481f90b35](https://www.adformhelp.com/s/article/UUID-1a343877-58f8-363d-69d3-0f81da9b9715)* Please also note that there are three important things to be taken into consideration when talking about Adform clicks to work correctly and tracker to fire well: \- Adform DHTML library; \- manifest.json file; \- Click function. # Sizmek Tags Sometimes it may happen that you will receive JS banner tags for Sizmek. But the tags may not be compatible with our DSP platform, without any additional changes. Lets take an example of a bad tag: ```javascript   ``` Upon looking at the tag there are a few things: - First of all our **{CLICK\_URL}** macro is missing. - And no use of **{CACHEBUSTER**} macro. - The URL in the **<a>** needs to be encoded. In order to fix the tag, we need to make several changes. To start let's look at the correct tag. ```javascript ``` 1\. **{CLICK\_URL}** macro is added in two places, the **<script>** part of the tag, and the **<noscript>** part of the tag. **<script>** part of the tag: to insert the **{CLICK\_URL}** macro you have to add the **"&ncu=$${CLICK\_URL}$$"** of the first URL. **<noscript>** part of the tag: insert **{CLICK\_URL}** before the **href="" url** 2\. Enable Cachebuster. Cachebuster in Sizmek is enabled, by using the **\[timestamp\]** property of the URL. To enable this from our DSP end, that has to be changed to **{CACHEBUSTER}**. 3\. Encode the **<noscript>** URL: the after the **{CLICK\_URL}** part has to be encoded. To encode the URL use this tool: [https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/](https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/). # Ad Discrepancy in CM360 ##### **What is CM360?** Google Campaign Manager 360 (CM360) is an ad server within [Google’s Marketing Platform](https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/) which allows to host and manage digital advertising all in one place and review creative performance in real-time. Marketers use CM360 to manually create tracking assets called “tags”, which are then delivered by a media partner. --- ##### **What is Ad Discrepancy?** Ad discrepancy refers to a difference in analytical data between two parties. Discrepancies arise from the use of multiple tools, formulas, and methodologies to calculate data. The most frequent metrics used by publishers and advertisers are impressions, clicks, page views, user sessions, bounce rate, and others, depending on the use case. The advertising industry is currently experiencing two types of discrepancies: 1\) between ad tech vendors; 2\) between sell-side and buy-side platforms. --- ##### **What percentage of discrepancy is considered normal by CM360?** When counting clicks and impressions, discrepancies of up to 20% are considered normal by CM360. --- ##### **What are the frequently occurring reasons of discrepancies in CM360?** 1. Reports with imprecise comparisons. For instance, do the third-party report and the Campaign Manager 360 report have the same date range? 2. The initially exported tag has been wrapped or changed. 3. Incorrectly implemented cache-busting. 4. Tag has been implemented more than once. --- ##### **What do to if discrepancy is more than 20%?** If clicks/impressions discrepancy is more than 20%, recommend to the client to contact Google Marketing Platform support and to do so while the campaign is still live. Before contacting support, client has to make sure that campaign has enough data, since according to CM360 discrepancies with limited data (less than 1,000 impressions) cannot be investigated. To receive a faster support, CM360 [recommends](https://support.google.com/campaignmanager/answer/2835377?hl=en) to have this information ready: 1. A placement report broken down by date that allows comparison between CM360 and 3rd Party platform/Site. 2. A live URL or a live app where support can view the ad tags. If that's not possible, provide a test URL or app that's implemented exactly as the live tags - creative preview page in our instance. Use CM360's [official discrepancy spreadsheet](https://storage.googleapis.com/support-kms-prod/yVJJXbFF87Am6xENmXpRtCXeSHCcvznTn0Nc) to send this information to their support. # VAST video & IAS measurement #### **What is IAS pixel for VAST video?** Eskimi supports IAS third party pixels via the piggy back method, where the Eskimi append the IAS pixel tag directly on creatives prior to platform upload. To measure performance on IAS for video, VAST video creative must be wrapped into IAS wrapper. This is a small pixel code that can be implemented directly and automatically through Eskimi platform.
**IAS Solution****Explanation****Requirements**

Multimedia Tag BlockingVideo tracking tag that will work across desktop, CTV, mobile & in-app. Can measure viewability, set to blockRequires a VPAID player/publisher support & 3rd party ad serving
Unified Video PixelVideo tracking tag that will work across desktop, CTV, mobile & in-app. Cannot measure viewability or blockRequires a VAST player & 3rd party ad serving
Viewability measurements cannot be collected if it is not third party ad serving and the video inventories are not VPAID compatible. IAS alternative solution would be our Unified Video Pixel, which is essentially just the image pixel generated for various events (i.e. first quartile/ second quartile etc), you can implement the various event trackers to ensure you are able to collect **valid quartile measurements** since viewability would not be measured. --- #### **Why IAS tracker is relevant for VAST video?** IAS trackers allow advertisers to understand their VAST video performance in 3 main areas: 1\. Brand safety 2\. Viewability 3\. Invalid traffic When the a VAST video is wrapped into an IAS tag, the above mentioned mentrics will be tracked on IAS dashboard automatically. --- #### **How to wrap VAST video into IAS tracker?** Eskimi allows to wrap VAST video in highly automated manner. 1\. Go to your account's *Creatives* section. 2\. Select *Add creative set.* [![image-1665046554721.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/iksjTSSxCUbr8ST9-image-1665046554721.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/iksjTSSxCUbr8ST9-image-1665046554721.png) 3\. Give your creative set a name & select creative format as *Video.* *[![Screenshot 2022-10-06 at 11.44.56.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/ryp4zErqjUN8XFht-screenshot-2022-10-06-at-11-44-56.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/ryp4zErqjUN8XFht-screenshot-2022-10-06-at-11-44-56.png)* 4*.* From the *format* dropdown select **VAST video** or **VAST XML.** It will be possible to wrap VAST video even when **VAST + IBV** is selected. [![Screenshot 2022-10-06 at 11.45.20.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/scaled-1680-/l0yE1k5EdEzteLW5-screenshot-2022-10-06-at-11-45-20.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-10/l0yE1k5EdEzteLW5-screenshot-2022-10-06-at-11-45-20.png) 5\. Upload your VAST video by selecting *Choose file*. You should see a successful video upload right below the button. Select *Enable VAST wrapper.* The VAST video or tag will be automatically wrapped into the IAS tracker. It is not needed to take the VAST tag from the preview page anymore. VAST wrapper can be enabled at any point of the campaign execution. [![Screenshot 2023-05-24 at 15.41.38.png](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/scaled-1680-/6MKN1XJzH5RS0bUu-screenshot-2023-05-24-at-15-41-38.png)](https://manual.eskimi.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-05/6MKN1XJzH5RS0bUu-screenshot-2023-05-24-at-15-41-38.png) The flow was tested and works as intended. However, any challenges can be directly discussed with the product team. --- #### **Limitations** 1\. Eskimi can wrap VAST videos only with Eskimi IAS tracker. If the client wants to wrap the video into their own IAS tracker it is necessary to follow[ the standard procedure](https://manual.eskimi.com/books/3rd-party-tracking/page/vast-wrapping-into-clients-ias-tag-by-eskimi) where VAST video tag is taken from the preview page. 2\. The wrapping is available for Eskimi IAS tracker. Any 3rd party trackers have to be used in the standard manner. For example, if the client wants to wrap the video into MOAT tracker it will be mandatory to setup the campaign and [take the VAST tag from the preview page](https://manual.eskimi.com/books/3rd-party-tracking/page/vast-wrapping-into-clients-ias-tag-by-eskimi). 3\. Any tracked video metrics will be reflected only on IAS dashboard. However, metrics can be exported manually or [automated reports](https://manual.eskimi.com/books/tracking/page/report-builder-ias-agency-account) can be enabled to increase transparency with the clients.
