How to Pause a Campaign
Pausing a campaign is a useful feature that allows you to temporarily stop a campaign from delivering impressions. This can be helpful if you need to make changes to the campaign or if you want to pause it for any other reason. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to pause and resume a campaign.
Step 1: Select the Campaign
To pause a campaign, you will first need to select the campaign you wish to pause. This can be done by navigating to the campaign section of your account and clicking on the campaign you want to pause.
Step 2: Click the "Live" Dropdown Button
Once you are inside the campaign, you will see a "Live" dropdown button. Click on this button to access the options for your campaign.
Step 3: Select the "Pause" Button
From the dropdown menu, select the "Pause" button. This will immediately stop the campaign from delivering impressions.
Step 4: Resume the Campaign
Step 4: Resume the Campaign
If you want to resume the campaign, simply follow these steps:
Log in to Nine Ad Manager: Access your account and navigate to the campaign list.
Open Campaign Details: Click on the name of the campaign you wish to resume, which will open its details page.
Change Campaign Status: Locate the status control section near the "Paused" label. Click the dropdown arrow next to it and select "Resume" or "Start".
Confirm Changes: If prompted, confirm the change to ensure the campaign status updates from "Paused" to "Active." This will resume the campaign and it will start delivering impressions again.
Note: if you have a campaign with one creative and you pause or delete this creative it will automatically pause your campaign.
If you have a campaign with 2 or more creatives and your pause or delete one creative then the campaign will continue delivering impressions with the remaining active creatives.
Additionally, if your campaign was paused for creative updates, ensure that the new creatives are reviewed and approved in Nine Ad Manager before resuming. Resuming the campaign will trigger delivery using the newly approved creatives.
