New to Spaceback? This is the fastest path from "empty account" to "ad tag in your ad server." Ten minutes, five steps — we'll link out to deeper guides along the way.
Step 1 — Build your brand (2 min)
Go to Brands, paste your brand's landing page URL, and click Build brand. We analyze the page and auto-fill your logos, colors, fonts, ad copy, and social handles — no manual setup.
Want to fine-tune what we found? See Building a Brand.
Step 2 — Pick your hero (1 min)
Open Ad Builder and select your brand. Now choose a hero — the social post or video your ads will be built around. Your imported posts are right there; the ranked views on the brand page (Trending now, Most engaging, Hidden gems) tell you which post is working hardest.
No posts yet? Paste any post URL on the Import page — organic or sponsored both work.
Step 3 — Choose your formats (3 min)
Click Continue and watch your hero become a full campaign: CTV spots, online video, L-Bars, pause ads, and display banners in every IAB size. Click Select under each ad you want to keep. Picked a video format? You'll also get quick End card and Audio steps — the defaults are good to go.
Copy, CTA, colors, and logo are already on-brand — tweak anything in the Customize panel. Full walkthrough: How to Build a Creative with Ad Builder.
Step 4 — Render your ads (1 min + render time)
On Finalize, review your ads, rename anything, then click Render my ads. Rendering runs in the background — track it in Creatives → Render Queue.
Step 5 — Pull your tags (2 min)
When renders finish, open the creative → Versions & Tags → Create tag. You get a Campaign Manager ad tag — VAST for video, HTML5 for display — ready to traffic. Details: Trafficking Spaceback Creatives.
That's it 🎉
