A TruSkin campaign is a premium site takeover format that can include: a **header banner** at the top of the website AND/OR a **background skin** displayed on the left and right sides of the website. The formatted styling of the website is controlled through dedicated AdRotate ad groups. When a TruSkin header or background ad is actively displaying (based on its schedule), the website automatically switches to TruSkin styling. --- ### Before You Start: What You’ll Need #### **1) Visual Ad Assets from the Client** **Background skin: 1920 × 1080 pixels.** Key visible areas are the left and right sides (460px wide on each side). **Header banner: 1000 × 250 pixels.** Header height may be adjusted in future - confirm specs if unsure. #### **2) Campaign Schedule confirmed with the Client** Confirmed **start and end dates** for the TruSkin campaign. This information is required to create the AdRotate schedule before the ads are displayed on site. --- ### Step 1: Upload Assets to the WordPress Media Library Once assets are received from the client: 1. Ensure they match the correct dimensions listed above 2. Upload the header and background images to the **WordPress Media Library** 3. Name the files clearly and consistently (e.g. `year-clientname-truskin-header.jpg`, `year-clientname-truskin-background.jpg`) 4. Copy the **direct image URLs** for each asset These image URLs will be used when creating the ads in AdRotate for the next step. --- ### Step 2: Create the Campaign Ad Schedule The same way you would set up any MREC or Skyscraper ad, create a new schedule in AdRotate for the TruSkin campaign: - Set the **start and end dates** for when the TruSkin campaign should be live - Make sure to enable tracking of impressions and clicks - **LEAVE THE IMPRESSION LIMIT FIELD BLANK** - **Do not tick any of the boxes to 'Spread Impressions' Schedule - we don't want to spread the impressions.** - Name the schedule clearly and consistently (e.g. `2026 Qatar TruSkin Campaign Schedule`) This schedule will control when the ads display as well as when TruSkin site styling becomes active. --- ### Step 3: Create the Ads in AdRotate Create the required ads in AdRotate:      1. **Header ad,** with relevant client campaign tracking link inserted - - Name the ad clearly and consistently (e.g. `2026 Qatar TruSkin Header`) - Use the direct image URL from the Media Library for the header graphic. - - You will also want to add our **GLAM banner** underneath. This means adding a second image to the ad content textbox, and linking the img to our homepage. Just copy/paste the following into the ad textbox, under the TruSkin header content: \\\ - - You will see a GLAM banner appear in the ad preview section, and it will be linked to our homepage. - Make sure the ad is 'Enabled' so it is considered active. - Scroll down to '*Choose existing schedules'* and select the AdRotate  schedule you created in step 2. - **Do not include the ad in any AdRotate ad groups yet.** This will be done in the next step.       2. **Background skin ad,** with relevant client campaign tracking link inserted - - Name the ad clearly and consistently (e.g. `2026 Qatar TruSkin Background`) - Use the direct image URL from the Media Library for the background graphic. - Make sure the ad is 'Enabled' so it is considered active. - - Scroll down to '*Choose existing schedules'* and select the AdRotate schedule you created in step 2. - **Do not include the ad in any AdRotate ad groups yet.** This will be done in the next step. --- ### Step 4: Include Ads in the Correct TruSkin Ad Groups Once the ads and the schedule are set, include the ads in the dedicated TruSkin ad groups: - **TruSkin Header Group** - Scroll down to find the header banner ad and tick the checkbox. - **Uncheck all other ads to remove everything from the group except for your new ad.** - Remember to click save. - **TruSkin Background Group** - Scroll down to find the background skin ad and tick the checkbox. - **Uncheck all other ads to remove everything from the group except for your new ad.** - Remember to click save. --- ### Step 5: Set the Website Background Styling for the Campaign This step sets the **website background styling,** which will automatically go live when a TruSkin header or background ad is showing. In the backend of Wordpress, go to: **Appearance → Customise → Additional CSS** At the top of the Additional CSS, locate the following section:  `body.truskin { --site-bg-color: #7b02f5; --content-bg-color: #efefef; }` Update: - **`--site-bg-color`:** Set this to match the TruSkin campaign background colour if necessary. - **`--content-bg-color`:** Controls the background of the main content area: - `#efefef` → The standard site content background colour. - `transparent` → Allows the TruSkin background artwork to show through behind content. These changes can be made in advance and will only apply when a TruSkin ad is actively displaying. --- ### Step 6: Final Checks Before the date of campaign launch, confirm: - Assets are uploaded and named correctly in the Media Library - Ads are using the correct image URLs, and both are linked to the client's campaign urls - Ads have the correct schedule attached, and the schedule runs for the correct dates - Ads are in the correct TruSkin ad groups, and no other ads are in those groups - Website background colours are updated and saved --- ### Campaign Runs Automatically When the scheduled start time is reached: - The TruSkin ad(s) will go live and display automatically - TruSkin website styling activates automatically - Styling and ads are automatically removed when the schedule ends No further action is required. --- #### Important Notes - TruSkin website styling only shows when an ad is both 'enabled' and scheduled to display - TruSkin website styling will not appear outside the scheduled campaign window - If the website theme is updated or changed, the TruSkin setup may need to be reviewed --- **If for any reason the TruSkin has not turned off, you can manually deactivate the ads:** - Locate and open each ad in AdRotate: **![Screenshot 2026-03-31 at 12.03.33 PM](https://knowledgebase.glamadelaide.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-03-31%20at%2012.03.33%20PM.png?width=670&height=56&name=Screenshot%202026-03-31%20at%2012.03.33%20PM.png)** - Locate the Status dropdown: **![Screenshot 2026-03-31 at 12.03.54 PM](https://knowledgebase.glamadelaide.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-03-31%20at%2012.03.54%20PM.png?width=670&height=407&name=Screenshot%202026-03-31%20at%2012.03.54%20PM.png)** - Using the dropdown, switch the ads from **Enabled** to **Disabled:** **![Screenshot 2026-03-31 at 12.10.57 PM](https://knowledgebase.glamadelaide.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-03-31%20at%2012.10.57%20PM.png?width=288&height=88&name=Screenshot%202026-03-31%20at%2012.10.57%20PM.png)** - Click Save.
