Nine Ad Manager is a digital self-service platform which primarily advertises campaigns on 9Now our online streaming platform.

For campaigns on Linear TV (Traditional Television) you can reach out to our Nine Plus team here.

A campaign contains all the information needed to successfully run ads across 9Now, it includes your budget, schedule, targeting and creatives.

To advertise on 9Now you need to create a campaign on Nine Ad Manager,

Currently on Nine Ad Manager you can create 15 or 30 second video campaigns to stream on 9Now to reach audiences by household location, demographics, interests and behaviours even by the TV show or genre.

Nine Ad Manager lets you configure the targeting so you can reach exactly who you want to reach. This minimises wastage and ensures your advertising dollars go further.

It’s important to consider that when it comes to targeting, sometimes less is more. We recommend you read the Tips for reaching your ideal audience on Nine Ad Manager resource article before you get started.

Your ad will run in the ad breaks within Australia’s most loved TV shows. Before you set your campaign live, you’ll be able to preview video ads you upload into the platform.

If you don’t already have a video ad you can create and preview ads you make for free in Nine Ad Manager.

With 9Now, viewers can’t skip the ads. They have to watch the ads to continue watching the show, so 9Now has a very high video completion rate of just under 100% - meaning every ad impression served gets viewed.

This is different to other channels like social media, where you might serve lots of impressions but receive very little video views or your ads can be skipped.

The platform supports payment by most debit/credit card through our secure payment provider Stripe.

*Payment and debit/credit card details are not saved by Nine.

We do not accept direct debits, invoices, BNPL (Buy now, Pay later) or set up monthly subscriptions.

Nine Ad Manager has a Campaigns tab which lets you see all the campaigns you have created in draft or which have been submitted. You can click into each campaign and edit or cancel your campaign at any time.

For the campaigns that are currently live, you can also see campaign reporting in the Reports tab. Reporting dashboards show campaign delivery information and if you have set up conversion event tracking with the pixel tag found in your profile you can also see how your campaign is performing.

Campaign pricing is CPM based and the final price is determined by the targeting that is applied to the campaign.

• Base price: $50 CPM

• Postcode targeting: +$7.5 CPM

• Capital cities and districts targeting: +$7.5 CPM

• Regional area targeting: +$7.5 CPM

• Age targeting: +$2.50 CPM

• Gender targeting: +$2.50 CPM

• Interest and behaviour targeting: +$10 CPM

• Live Sport Show targeting: +$15 CPM

• Show targeting: +$5 CPM

• Genre targeting: +$5 CPM

For example if you have a campaign($50) with Postcode targeting ($7.5 ) and Live Sport Show ($15) targeting you will be charged $72.5 CPM.

Currently all campaigns are priced on a cost per thousand impressions (CPM) basis.

CPM stands for cost per thousand impressions, it refers to the cost of your ad appearing 1000 times. To calculate CPM, divide the cost by impressions and multiply by 1000

CPM = (cost ÷ impressions) × 1000

$90 = ($500 ÷ 5,555) × 1000

You can change your budget on Draft campaigns only.

Once you have paid you cannot change the budget and your campaign will run until the end date, or until you decide to cancel the campaign. In order to edit your budget, you can pause your delivering Campaign, copy it and submit a new Campaign with new dates and increased budget.

You can of course cancel any of your campaigns at any time.

If you cancel your campaign or your campaign did not reach the number of impressions that you booked based on your budget, then you will receive a refund of the difference. The refund amount will be calculated by the difference between the booked amount of impressions and the delivered amount of impressions multiplied by the CPM and divided by 1,000.

How to Toggle Between Different Campaign Steps

If you are trying to make a change to your draft or need to adjust your paid campaign, you can toggle between the different campaign steps by clicking "Back" or "Next". This will allow you to easily navigate through your campaign and make any desired changes.

Quick Toggle Between the Campaign Flow

The BLUE DOT highlights the current page you are on. This will help you keep track of where you are in the campaign flow.

The SOLID BLACK dots highlight pages you have already progressed through or completed. This will help you see how far along you are in the campaign.

The GREY dots highlight pages you have yet to complete. This will help you easily see which steps you still need to complete.

As you fill and complete your campaign, you may want to go back a few steps to make changes.

To do this, simply select the SOLID BLACK dots under each category to quickly change between each step. This will save you time and effort in navigating through the campaign.

Targeting is the way in which you customise your campaign and decide who will see your ad.

Nine Ad Manager allows you to reach audiences on 9Now by household location, demographics, interests and behaviours or even by the TV show or genre.

Layering on more targeting than you really need can limit the audience reach and may prevent your ads from being seen by a greater pool of potential customers.​

Remember, if you don’t apply targeting then your campaign will still serve across 9Now. In the absence of any targeting selection your campaign will simply serve across all TV shows, content genres, devices, and to all audiences on the platform.​ For more information please see our Tips for reaching your ideal audience on Nine Ad Manager

TV Show

You could target your ads to appear amongst Nine’s biggest shows including Grand Slam Tennis, Married At First Sight , Lego Masters, Love Island, The Block, Parental Guidance, Food Stars, The Today Show, NRL and NRLW live sport, State of Origin live sport , The Ashes live sport, Rush, The Summit, 9News and 60 Minutes.

Genres

Your ads could also appear across our range of Genres including Drama , Family, Documentaries, News & Current Affairs, Sport, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Reality on 9Now.

If you don’t target any particular show or genre your ads will appear across all premium professionally produced programming on 9Now

Your ads will be shown across all times of the day including prime time, reaching audiences when users are streaming Nine’s most loved shows.

Streaming TV is different to Traditional TV. With Traditional TV, all viewers watching at a particular time see the same ad, meaning ads shown in primetime (when more people are watching) get more reach than ads shown in daytime (when fewer people are watching). Streaming TV is different because you can target your ads and therefore different viewers will see different ads. One impression served at primetime on streaming TV will have the same reach as one impression served in daytime on streaming TV because each impression reaches only the members of that one particular household.

Impressions won’t serve if nobody is watching. For an impression to serve a viewer must be streaming TV on 9Now.

Nine Ad Manager allows you to target households in a variety of ways.

You can select either your own list of postcodes or select areas at a State, Capital Cities, Districts and Regional level.

For further information please view the overall list of Household targeting Options

The frequency cap on all Nine Ad Manager campaigns is set to 2 per stream. This means your ad will never be shown more than twice in each stream watched on 9Now.

There are many reasons why you may not see your own ads. These could be related to the targeting you have selected as well as the budget you have for your campaign.

In terms of targeting, if you don't fit into the campaign targeting you have selected then you won't see your ad shown on 9Now.

In terms of budget, in some cases your campaign will only show occasionally in order to deliver your budget spend across the campaign time frame.

The term creatives refers to your 15 or 30 second video ad shown to the 9Now audience.

There are different creative options available. If you have an existing 15 or 30 second video ad, you can upload it into 9Now to run as part of your campaign. If you don’t have an existing video ad, you can create one in minutes using the creative studio in Nine Ad Manager, powered by artificial intelligence.

Before your campaign is set live, Nine will review your ad creative to ensure it complies with our Creative Acceptance Policy, which can be found here. Nine is committed to delivering a high quality viewer and advertising experience on 9Now and therefore it’s essential that you review the Creative Acceptance Policy prior to uploading your ad and ensure that it meets the guidelines.

Nine Ad Manager recommends that ads meet the optimal CTV specifications of 1920x1080 (16:9) resolution / aspect ratio and 3500-5000 kbps bitrate

When uploading your own creative it needs to meet the following specifications

• Recommended dimension is 1920x1080 px.

• Accepted ratio format is 16:9.

• Video format is mp4.

• Video length is between 15 and 30 seconds.

• Accepted codecs are: AVC, VP8.

• Bit rate must be more than 1.5 MBps.

Nine Ad Manager offers an AI tool to help you create a Video Ad asset if you don't have an existing video ad.

The tool will then build an ad using your images, logos and create a voice over script that you can then edit.

We require our advertisers to always comply with Nine’s Creative Acceptance Policy in addition to all applicable laws, regulations and codes that may apply to their advertising.

Understanding Campaign Performance: Progress Bar & Projected Delivery

Throughout the duration of your campaign, you will have two visual cues to showcase its performance. These cues include the progress bar and estimated projection rate, which are important indicators of your campaign's progress and delivery.

Progress Bar

The progress bar is a visual representation of your campaign schedule and will fill up over the course of its duration. It will correspond to one of three colors: Green, Yellow, or Red. The color indicates the status of your campaign and its delivery, with each color representing the following:

GREEN = On track and will deliver full impressions

YELLOW = Ok or Good Progress and will deliver majority impressions

RED = Under delivering and will not deliver the full amount of booked impressions.

Estimated Projection Rate

The estimated projection rate is displayed on the right side of the progress bar, as a percentage. This percentage represents the pacing of your campaign and its projected delivery. For example, if your campaign has a projected delivery rate of 97%, it is on track to deliver 97% of the total impressions booked. This percentage may fluctuate during the course of your campaign and will be updated accordingly.

Understanding Fluctuating Percentages

There could be various reasons for fluctuating percentages in your campaign's projected delivery rate. The most common reason is that your audience targeting may be too small or there may not be many people streaming within your selected audiences. Another possible reason could be that the duration of your campaign is too short. In order to ensure the full delivery of booked impressions, you can edit your campaign to broaden or change the targeting, and adjust the length of the campaign.

Refunds for Undelivered Impressions

If your campaign finishes without delivering the full booked amount of impressions, you will receive a refund for the undelivered portion. This refund will be based on the undelivered amount, and you will be notified of the refund via email.

Conclusion

Understanding the progress bar and estimated projection rate is important in monitoring and optimising your campaign's performance. The progress bar provides a quick glance at how your campaign is delivering, while the estimated projection rate gives you a more detailed understanding of its pacing. If you have any further questions about these visual cues, our support team is always happy to assist you. Happy streaming!
