Upgrading or Increasing an Ad Size

Upgrading an ad size can boost visibility and enhance the effectiveness of the client’s message by providing more space for content and creativity. It can also strengthen client relationships and improve retention by offering additional value and demonstrating the publisher’s commitment to the client’s success.


  1. In ARC, navigate to the Reporting page on the left-hand side of the screen.
  2. Under “Choose a Report,” select Ads List from the drop-down menu.
  3. Select the correct month and year to the right.
  4. Click “Display”.
  5. Locate and click on the client you want to upgrade the ad size for.
  6. Under the “Design” column, select the client’s insertion.
  7. Select your upgraded new Ad Size from the dropdown list. (Note that the ad sizes listed here are the only ad sizes available.)
  8. Input your updated ad cost.
    1. The cost amount is up to the individual Publisher if the Ad Size upgrade comes with a cost.  Some do it as a one-time selling tool in hopes that the client will want to upgrade permanently.  Others do it as a selling tool to show the client what an upgraded Ad could get them, usually associated with a fee for the upgrade cost.
  9. Select the green “Update” button. 
    1. This will only upgrade the month/year that is selected.  The next month and the rest of the contract will be at the original contract size unless the Publisher makes it a permanent upgrade.

Requirements:

  • The upgrade must be performed before the creative deadline.
  • The previous insertion can only be upgraded if no ads or materials have been uploaded prior.
    • Submit a ticket to remove these prior submissions
