Serving to your Webpage

Playwire Third Party Tags are flexible and can be used in any Ad Server environment. In this example, we will walk you through the most common use case – using Google Ad Manager as the Ad Server and serving to the page via Google’s Publisher Tag. If you need a refresher on Google Publisher Tag, please refer to the Google Publisher Tag Documentation. In the code and demo below, Google Publisher Tag is serving demo Playwire Third Party Tags code as the ad creative.

On Page Implementation

Standard Googletag <head> scripts
    
    <!-- Example googletag implementation -->
    <script async='async' src='https://www.googletagservices.com/tag/js/gpt.js'></script>
    <script>
      var googletag = googletag || {};
      googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || [];
    </script>
    
    <script>
    googletag.cmd.push(function() {
        googletag.defineSlot('/AccountID/APAdX//Ad_unit_name', [300, 250],
        'div-gpt-ad-XXXXXXXXXXXXX-0').addService( googletag.pubads() );
        googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest();
        googletag.enableServices();
      });
    </script>
Standard Googletag <body> scripts to display the units
