What are Campaigns & Playbooks
-
A Campaign is a specifically designed strategy enabling you to reach your audience by serving an ad message across the web and social platforms with a specific end goal in mind, for example, brand awareness. Campaigns are highly customizable. Learn more about Campaigns here.
-
A Playbook is a pre-packaged set of campaigns that sequentially deliver ads to your target audiences. Playbooks are more self-serve and user-friendly. They are designed with you in mind to make it as easy as possible to set up and maintain. Learn more about Playbooks here.
Both Campaigns and Playbooks go through our Ad Campaign Review Process to ensure that they meet our Advertising Policies and Guidelines. Turnaround times for campaign review can fluctuate, but it should never take more than one business day.

Bidding technology
Campaigns and Playbooks both rely on BidIQ®, the AI technology powering RollWorks bidding. Ad space is bought and sold through virtual auctions and prices fluctuate depending on demand. The more advertisers vying for a particular impression, the higher the cost of that impression will be.
Our proprietary BidIQ® AI technology helps you to find the right visitor, at the right time, in the right place, at the optimal price across web, social, native, and mobile devices. BidIQ® is enabled by default in your RollWorks account and incorporates learnings into future campaigns.
BidIQ® drives performance by bidding uniquely for every impression, submitting high bids for high-quality impressions and high-intent users, and bidding lower for low-quality impressions. The average of these bids determines your CPM. Since we do not want to keep your campaign from going after visitors that are really likely to convert, we do not impose a maximum CPM. It's important to take into consideration all cost metrics when evaluating your campaign performance: if we're buying fewer impressions with your budget (increased CPM), but ultimately driving more clicks and conversions with these impressions (decreased CPC or CPA), this means that we're hitting the right impressions to help drive optimal performance. In other words, you get quality over quantity.
BidIQ® provides the following benefits:
