ADD HTML5 CREATIVES
Prerequisites for Standard Banners
All HTML5 creatives must reference the clickTag parameter in the URL of the creative when it is served in order to properly track clicks and open the landing page provided in Console when the creative is clicked.

For creative designers:
- Use IAB’s HTML5 clickTag Standard on AppNexus
- Build an HTML5 AppNexus Creative in Google Web Designer
- Build an HTML5 AppNexus Creative in Adobe Edge
For ad traffickers:
