Create a campaign

To add a campaign, you need to have at least one advertiser. They'll have access to campaign statistics. They can also edit banners if you give them the necessary access rights. If you're going to monitor all campaign statistics yourself, it's enough to create one common advertiser.

Note. If you're creating a campaign under a contract with an advertiser or agent to place ads for display in Russia and plan to report these ad impressions to the Russian state register through the Yandex advertising data operator, then before creating a campaign, specify data about the contractors and the contract with the end advertiser in the Marking tab. For more information, see Transferring data to the Yandex advertising data operator and getting a token.
