How to Add and Edit Adverts in Buzzspark
Adverts are branded or sponsored content that is periodically pushed to audiences in Widget and Event Displays. With Adverts, you can capture your customers when they’re most engaged to promote relevant key messages, promotional offers, or third-party sponsored/advertising content. Learn more about Adverts.
From the left menu, browse to Engage > Adverts.
On the Adverts Page:
Click on the +Advert button in the top right to add a new Advert, or
Click on the Edit button under the Actions column for an existing Advert you wish to edit.
Whether you’re adding or editing an Advert, the process for entering the Advert details are the same.
In the Create Advert or Edit Advert Page, enter the following:

Advert Type
Select the media type of your Advert and drag and drop the media file on to the designated box or click anywhere in the box and browse to upload your file. The size and aspect ratio of the media should be based on the intended Display for the Advert. For Widget Displays, we recommend square images of 1080px by 1080px, or videos of 1280px x 720px. For Event Displays, the size depends on the digital screen the Display is shown on, e.g. 1920px x 1080px for a Full HD screen.
