Run banner ads in your mobile apps
Add, pause and rotate banner ads in your mobile apps from Marketing → Mobile Ads.
On this page
Marketing coordinators use Mobile Ads to sell sponsor banners inside the iOS and Android apps. The inventory is separate from your website banners, and the screen needs the Mobile banner ads permission. Ads rotate on their own; there’s nothing to schedule.
How rotation works
- Each time the app shows a banner, it picks one active ad at random.
- Every active ad has the same chance of showing. There’s no ordering or weighting.
- Inactive ads are skipped.
- With no active ads, the app simply shows no banner.
Add a mobile ad
- 1Start a new ad
Go to Studio → Marketing → Mobile Ads and press NEW AD.
- 2Choose the banner image
Under Banner image, press Pick image and choose it from the media library. The image is required, and the apps show it exactly as you uploaded it.
- 3Name it
Enter a Name your team will recognise, such as “Homecoming sponsor — October”. Names are what you search by.
- 1Add a link
Enter a Link if tapping the banner should open a page, such as the sponsor’s offer. Leave it empty for an image-only promotion.
- 2Set it live
Leave Active on to put the ad into rotation now, or off to save it for later. Press ADD AD.
