Platform Showcase: "The Trade Desk" (TTD) Tag Implementation and Reporting
Note: The Trade Desk operates two versions of its platform interface: the newer Kokai and the legacy Solimar. If you access your creatives through Solimar, you will be redirected to Kokai’s Creative Library to complete the tag implementation.
Tag Implementation
Kokai (New UI)
Upload Your Creative
Navigate to Creative Libraries and select Upload Creatives.
Select Hosted or Third Party, based on the creative type you're uploading.
Configure the Upwave Tag
Configure the Upwave tag based on the creative format:
Audio, Video, and Broadcaster: Enable Event Tracking, select Impression as the event type, and paste the Upwave tag URL into the Third-Party Tracking URL field.
Display, HTML5, and Native: Enable 1x1 Pixel Impression Tracking URL and paste the Upwave tag URL into the 1x1 Pixel Impression Tracking URL field.
Once configured, click Upload Creative to Library.
Solimar (Legacy UI)
Navigate to Campaigns > Creatives.
When prompted that Solimar’s Creative Library is no longer available, click Go to Kokai’s Creative Library.
You will be redirected to the Kokai UI. Follow the Kokai (New UI) instructions above to complete implementation.
