Outbrain

Setup Instructions

  1. Authenticate your Outbrain account(s) here. This will allow Rockerbox to ingest daily spend. This will require you to reach out to Outbrain to request access per the instructions here.
  2. Apply the Rockerbox URL parameters and impression pixels to all ads using the below instructions. These parameter values use macros and do not need to be manually replaced. Their values will be dynamically filled by the platform when the ad is served.
  3. Reach out to support@rockerbox.com letting them know the channel, the launch date, and the tier structure you'd like applied for this type of marketing activity.
  4. The day after launch, confirm that tracking (URL parameters + impression pixels) is applied to all your ads using the Advertising Platform page. More info on QAing your tracking can be found here.
