# Campaign Setup

> How to start a live advertising campaign using the Vodra Ads platform.

## Create a Workspace

To start, you will need to create a workspace at [advertise.vodra.io](https://advertise.vodra.io). You can use your Vodra account to sign in — if you don't have one yet, you can create one at [vodra.io](https://vodra.io). All of the brands and campaigns you manage are held under a single workspace. You can add team members and assign various roles in the Workspace menu once signed in.

## Create a Brand

You need to create a Brand before you assign a Campaign to it. Navigate to the left side menu and select **Brands**, then select **Add Brand** in the top right corner. If you are only representing a single brand, you will only need to create one. If you are a talent agency or representing multiple brands, you can add and manage them all from here.

<Note>
  Name, Description, and URL fields may be shared with creators, so add these
  with care.
</Note>

## Create a Campaign

Once you have added a Brand, you can create and assign a Campaign to it from the **Campaign** section in the navigation menu. Each Brand can have multiple campaigns running simultaneously. For example, if your brand has two separate products being promoted, you may want to create a unique campaign for each. This also applies to regional targeting, A/B testing, or seasonal campaigns.

Click **Create Campaign** and fill out the following:

* **Select Brand** — Choose the brand created in the previous step
* **Campaign Title** — A clear name for internal tracking
* **Description** — Explain the purpose, target audience, product type, and expected outcome. We use this to help with campaign targeting and assignment.
* **Target URL** — Where audience members will be directed. You can use a UTM tracking link; we also provide our own tracking.
* **Platform Targets** — Some product categories (gambling, alcohol, etc.) are only available on certain platforms. We review campaigns before going live to ensure compliance.
* **Region Targeting** — Add regions to target or avoid. We recommend keeping selections as wide as possible for best results.

### Assets

Once your Campaign is created, you can add the media assets for it. Go back to the Campaign menu and click **Assets** under the campaign you are working on. You can upload campaign logos and creative assets directly from the dashboard. Check out our [Campaign Formats](/vodra-for-advertisers/campaign-formats) and [Best Practices](/vodra-for-advertisers/best-practices) or [contact us](mailto:contact@vodra.io) for assistance.

Once you have uploaded your Campaign's Assets, go back to the Campaign menu and click **Preview** to see how it will appear on stream.

### Budget

Each Campaign requires a budget to go live. This works similarly to Google Ads or Meta Ads — you set a campaign budget upfront and it spends as results come in. We support fiat payments through Stripe or USDC crypto payments.

## Start Campaign

When you are ready, go to the **Preview** tab to make sure everything is in order. Launch your Campaign using the **Start Campaign Now** button. Once pressed, your campaign will begin being broadcasted to streamers across our network.

<Info>
  It may take some time to warm up as we assign, qualify, and continuously
  monitor streamers to ensure a good fit. This can be referred to as a "Learning
  Phase" as our algorithm sorts out the best placements based on your settings
  and objectives.
</Info>

You will be able to monitor all results live from your [Brand Dashboard](/vodra-for-advertisers/brand-dashboard) and edit campaign details at any time.
