DoubleClick Studio is a production and workflow tool used by creative agencies to produce and manage DoubleClick Rich Media ad units. It helps creative agencies streamline rich media processes and take control of turnaround times. Media agencies and marketers using DoubleClick for Advertisers (DFA) are able to cut down the time spent trafficking and managing rich media ads when working with creative agencies who use DoubleClick Studio. DoubleClick Studio helps ease the communication and workflow between media and creative. This leads to more successful cooperation and ultimately, more successful campaigns. How Creative Agencies Use DoubleClick Studio Creative agencies upload creative files into their web-based DoubleClick Studio account. The account is used to organize creatives, manage tracking events within creatives, and submit creatives for QA and ultimate approval. Once creatives are approved, DoubleClick Studio pushes the final rich media assets directly to the media agency’s DFA account for trafficking. Benefits to Media Agencies With DoubleClick Studio, media agencies do not have to manually upload rich media creatives into DFA when working with a creative agency that’s using DoubleClick Studio. Instead, creatives are pushed directly to the DFA account by the creative agency. In addition, when revisions are made to existing creatives, those are pushed directly to DFA as well. Traffickers have the option to accept the updated version as-is or merge it with the existing version in order to preserve the original creative’s DFA settings. These features help reduce the time spent trafficking and managing rich media ads in DFA. DoubleClick Studio has also improved on the process for previewing rich media creatives and the tracking events they contain. Now, one preview link can showcase multiple creatives for a campaign. Viewers will be able to navigate through the campaign, viewing the individual creatives on preview pages and the tracking events within each. This makes sharing creatives and communicating the metrics being captured much easier for media agencies and their clients. DoubleClick Studio generates preview pages for all units in a campaign on one public URL known only to your agency, so it’s convenient for sharing with clients and others in your organization.
