Audit and Exchange Review

All creative tags will go through a review process that consists of the following:

  • Creative and landing page review: this represents DV360’s own review of the creative’s behaviour and landing page
  • Content and policy review: this represents DV360’s own review of the creative’s content
  • Exchange review: this represents the review from the targeted ad exchange

If your creative is rejected, try re-submitting the same creative. If it fails again, contact support@createwithnova.com


Known caveats with Nova creatives:

  • Videos greater than 5MB (i.e. 15 seconds) will be rejected by Google Ad Manager exchange (it will still be servable on other exchanges)
  • Carousel creatives with multiple landing page URLs from different domains will be rejected

Restricted advertiser verticals: to serve ads promoting restricted products and services (e.g. tobacco), you must apply for certification.
See: Google’s help article on Restricted products and services.

The overall status should read:
Approved, Servable


If the creative is rejected by Google Ad Manager exchange it will still be servable on other exchanges. The status in this case is:
Rejected, Servable
