Brightspot Content Types Guide

Injecting ads into assets


When you subscribe to an ad feed, your published assets retrieve ads from the feed. Brightspot injects those ads into modules that you lay out at any point in the content hierarchy. Consider leveraging as much as possible the content hierarchy when configuring ad injection. If you configure ad injection at the global level, all assets flowing down from that level inherit the same configuration. Some publishers configure ad injection at the site level, then override the configuration at specific section levels.

To inject ads into assets:

  1. Search for and open the asset to which you want to add an ad feed.
  2. Expand Overrides > Layout Overrides.
  3. From the AboveAside, or Below list, select one of the following:

    • Add After—Inherits the block’s modules from the parent level and adds an ad under them.
    • Add Before—Inherits the block’s modules from the parent level and adds an ad above them.
    • Replace—Replaces the block’s modules inherited from the parent level with an ad.

    For more information about layout blocks, see Above, Aside, and Below layout blocks.

  4. Click add_circle_outline.
  5. In the module picker, click Misc, then click Ad.

  7. Complete your site's workflow and publish the asset.
