Advertising Campaign
Acquire users by advertising your app on the Chartboost network.
Before You Begin… 🔗

- Integrate the Chartboost SDK. If you plan on using only S2S (server-to-server) tracking for CPI (cost per install) campaigns, then you don’t need the SDK.
- Add funds via your Chartboost platform. Learn how to avoid going over budget.
Start A New Campaign 🔗
- From your navigation, go to Advertising > Campaigns.
- Click + Create New Campaign at the top right.
- Select an app to be promoted in the campaign.
- Give it a Campaign Name that helps you quickly identify the campaign.
- Click Next Step.
- Add a new target to customize your campaign further. Set Geos, daily budgets, billing type, goal type, bundle IDs, and creatives. Click Save Target once you’ve finished customizing this target.

Bid & Budgets 🔗
Daily budgets under $500 are often exhausted very quickly or even exceeded. You will receive email notifications when your campaigns are close to reaching their daily limits. You can edit campaigns from these emails.
Your advertising campaigns’ minimum budget will vary on the bid type:
- CPI campaigns have a minimum daily budget of $100.
- CPM campaigns have a minimum daily budget of $250.
