Ad Placement
Grow your business with ‘watch and respond' campaigns on WeAre8.

Ad Position
On WeAre8, users (known as 8Citizens) will receive a notification inviting them to watch ads, they will have the option to opt-in and watch brand ads over the top, via their own link, on their own terms - guaranteeing the attention of the people you want to reach.

Ad Format
A full screen vertical video ad experience (we also accept landscape), followed by questions that allow for valuable, qualitative and quantitative insights. A call-to-action (CTA) tile then invites your audience to click through to the landing page of your choice.

Creating An Account

Setting Up A Campaign

The first step to running ads through WeAre8’s SAM-i is to create a ‘Campaign'. You will need to determine your campaign objectives (or goal), which are the final results you want your ads to achieve.

1. Name your campaign
2. Enter your brand information (Name and Logo will be pre-filled)
3. Select your campaign's objective

Choose Objective to Optimise your Campaign Process.
Your advertising objective is what you want to achieve on WeAre8, therefore selecting the right objective is important for WeAre8 to optimise the success of your campaign.

You may choose one objective per campaign.

You may select one area of impact and charity for your campaign.

Once you've chosen the area of impact, you may select the charity. Either from the listed options or you may request to add a charity through our Moderation Help Desk.

Ad Sets

The basic steps for setting up your ad set:
1. Name your ad set
2. Build a new audience or retarget a previously existing audience
‍+ If you build a new audience, select gender, age, location, and create new custom audiences when you create questions for your campaign.
3. Implement the 8Pixel, please ensure your campaign objective is either set to ‘conversions’ or ‘traffic’.

4. Confirm your campaign budget and timing
5. Start creating ads

Within each campaign you are able to create multiple ad sets. You will define your audience targeting, implement the 8Pixel, confirm campaign budget, and timing at the ad set level.

Ad upload

Creating your ad is super simple. All you have to do is name your ad in your ad set, upload your creatives and establish your questions!
WeAre8's SAM-i currently supports only video ad formats. The 8Community can opt-in to watch an ad and respond to customised questions.

Name Your Ad Name
This helps you distinguish between ads within your ad group. The ad name is only for your reference and is not part of your ad.

Upload Your Brand Video Ad
This is the brand video ad to which people will watch & respond. We accept video ads up to 2 minutes in length, 16:9 Aspect Ratio.

Pro Tips for Video Ads:

Instant Response through WeAre8 Questions
Every brand ad also enables you to ask your target questions to the 8Community.
‍
We recommend between 1-3 questions per Ad, each with no more than 100 characters. You may create your own questions or may customise based on our provided examples in our Question Bank

Add Call-to-Action
A Call-To-Action increases the chance of the 8Community making an action after watching the ad, whether it’s to learn more, browse your website or sign a petition.
First, upload a Call-To-Action image (1:1 Aspect Ratio). If you do not upload an image, please upload your logo.
Second, paste the link where you would like people to click-through, upon finishing the watch and respond ad.
Lastly, you also have the option to customise your CTA button and add a discount code for participants to use on your product.

8Pixel

What is the 8Pixel?
The 8Pixel is a piece of code that you can place on your website to track action and activity of WeAre8 citizens after they have watched a brand video via our platform. The data collected by the pixel is used by our platform for reporting back to you, to help you better optimise your campaign delivery, effectiveness and for retargeting.

How does the 8Pixel work?
The 8Pixel measures a range of actions that directly tie back to business goals like driving product views, leads, subscriptions, or purchases.
‍
Having an 8Pixel setup allows you to track customer events; so after a person has watched a brand video via our platform, and takes action, the 8Pixel tracks that event and allows you to attribute your brand video to their actions. As the 8Pixel measures more conversion events, WeAre8 learns more about the types of people who are most likely to take similar actions with your brand, allowing you to unlock conversion optimisation for your campaigns.

What data does the 8Pixel collect?
The 8Pixel collects information available in all standard web browsers like Chrome, Safari etc. More particularly the information collected includes:

> Ad & Event information: Information about the specific event that was triggered after the customer first lands on your destination url (PageViews, Purchases, Subscriptions/Sign Ups).
> Timestamp: The specific time that the pixel event was fired. This is used to determine when website actions took place, like when a page was viewed, when a product was purchased, etc.
> ​IP Address: Used to determine the geographic location of an event.
> ​User info: Used to determine the device make, model, operating system and browser information.

Technical Requirements
Access to your website code base is required as you will need to manually add the pixel code directly in your website. You will also need an activated SAM-i account with the 8Pixel ID generated specifically for you.  You can find more detailed implementation instructions below.

Additionally, cookies must be enabled as whenever a customer visits your website after watching a brand video, a cookie will be placed in their browser.

Please find the WeAre8 cookie policy here.
Please find the WeAre8 privacy policy here.
