**Learn in Bionic Academy: [Manage Your Ads](https://academy.bionic-ads.com/app/courses/9287fd6f-95bf-49cf-a9a6-ff72d93c3b02)**

In Bionic, Ads, consist of several components, including the Ad Name, Number, Creative, Ad Unit, Channel, and Description. When an ad is created, it becomes associated with the Advertiser you are working under.

You have three options for creating a new ad. No matter which method you choose, the ad will be accessible across the advertiser for use in any campaign.

NOTE: Please keep in mind that this name will be visible when you are working on your plan and the media plan you extract from Bionic. Ensure that it is named in a way that is easily identifiable.

Here's how to create an Ad at the Campaign level:

1. In the Campaign you want to set up Ads for, click on the **Ads tab**.
2. Click the **New Ad button**.
3. Enter a **descriptive name** for the Ad.

NOTE: Please keep in mind that this name will be visible when you are working on your plan and the media plan you extract from Bionic. Ensure that it is named in a way that is easily identifiable.

### **Create an Ad within the Media Plan (On-The-Fly)**

If you are already working on your media plan and have not yet set up Ads, you have the option to add them as you go. This method is convenient for staying focused on your plan. 

Here's how to create an Ad in the Media Plan:

1. In a Campaign, click on the **Media Plan tab**.
2. Within a Placement, Click into the **Ad field and enter an Ad Name**.
3. When you click or tab out of the Ad field, if the Ad is Not Found (New), it will prompt you indicating it couldn't find the Ad, press the **Create New Ad button** to proceed with creating a new ad.
