There are several ways to add creatives to your campaign or advertiser. You can make new creatives, add creatives from your advertiser to your campaign, or copy existing creatives.
If you make copies, note that your copies will have the same properties, assets, and status as the original. But copies have no assigned ads or placements. Also, the name of each copy will be the same as the original, with "(copy)" at the end.

Are you adding creatives to a new campaign?
It's best to add your default creatives to your campaign first: add the image or display creatives you want to use for default ads on display placements. Campaign Manager 360 will automatically create default ads for your display placements when you add your first image-based creatives. Campaign Manager 360 will use whichever image creatives you add first, provided that they fit the dimensions of your placements. Then you can add the rest of your creatives.
