Implementing Social Metadata in your mobile game ads for advertising (or Cross Promotion) campaigns is as easy as flipping a switch. Here?s how it works:

  • Go to your Advertising Campaign Edit page.
  • Under Creative Settings, add a new creative set or use an existing creative set.
  • In Creative Settings, find the Social Metadata option and toggle the radio button from ?No? to ?Yes?.
  • The Social Metadata overlay will populate at the bottom portion of the creative. Also, you can use the Creative Preview feature to get a sense of how your creative will look with the overlay.
  • Click Save and you?re now done! (Note that once you add a Social Metadata overlay to your creative set, it?s permanently altered. To prevent any issues, make sure you save backups of your creatives.)

A/B Test the Effectiveness of Creatives With and Without Social Metadata

Benchmark the effectiveness of adding Social Metadata to your creatives by A/B testing two creatives--one with Social Metadata and one without. Here?s how to do it:

  • Under Add Creative Set, select the Use Existing tab.
  • Select an existing creative set that you want to A/B test for Social Metadata.
  • Create a copy of your desired creative set to your advertising campaign with the Duplicate functionality.
  • Add Social Metadata to one of the two identical creatives by switching the Social Metadata option from ?No? to ?Yes?.
  • Once you have two of the same creatives--one with Social Metadata and one without--use the Traffic Allocated functionality to set up a 50-50 distribution of traffic between the creatives.
  • Click Save and that?s it!
