    Simply insert all the items in the ZIP file without creating a folder.
    Make sure all files are named in the same way you added them to the cells in the XLSX file (otherwise they will be rejected).
  • Ad Tag, Video Url and Video XML: for these creatives you just need to upload the XLSX file.

You’ll find all the creatives you have uploaded through the Bulk Upload in the respective creative sections of the console (for example if you have uploaded Native creatives, you’ll find them by accessing Creatives tab and Native).
If you have entered (where it was available) a Campaign ID in the spreadsheet, your creatives will be also associated to that Campaign ID (you can check them, by accessing the Campaign List below Offers/Campaigns tab).
