Creatives are the basis for every digital advertising campaign. As a result, Nexta's platform offers different ways of creating and uploading banners. In this section, we will go through how to create, edit, and attach banners to your next campaign.

How to create banners

To create banners, go to the creative section in Nexta. Here you will find the creatives tied to the individual client. Further, you will find the function to create new banners. In the top right corner.

In Nexta, you have two ways of creating banners, our internal banner builder or uploading external banners. Please note that for certain channels it is required to use the banner builder, these are Facebook and Google.

Another important step is to always match banners to the direct campaign objective. For example, a banner must be created for a Reach objective and cannot be reused for a Click objective. Not following this rule might lead to not being able to attach banners later.

The banner builder

The easiest way to create new banners is to use the internal banner builder. This tool is available for all channels and makes use of a simple and effective tool to get better performance for your next campaign.

The banner builder is slightly different for the different channels. Read more about the banner builder and different specifications here.
