MediaOS Studio Services let you leverage our in-house design team to create ads and layouts for your clients—at a fraction of the cost of hiring a freelancer or agency. To get started, you’ll need to purchase Studio Credits, which act as tokens for each design request you submit.
Purchasing Studio Credits #
Before using Studio Services, you must have Studio Credits available on your account.

- Locate the line item you want to send to Studio.
- Click View to open the Line Item Details panel.
- Scroll to the Delivery section and click View Request.
- Click Send to Studio to launch the Studio request process.
Providing Instructions #
The first step is to provide direction to the Studio designers.
- Use the Instructions tab to enter important creative details.
- Click the Related/Reference Ad thumbnail to upload a previous ad as an example.
Uploading Files for Designers #
You’ll now be prompted to add assets the design team needs.
- Click Next to move to the Files tab.
- Click Upload File to provide any logos, text, or other assets.
- Click Next when all files are uploaded.
Editing the Branding Guide #
The branding guide helps designers stay true to your client’s look and feel.
- Go to the Branding tab and click Edit Branding Guide.
- In the dialog, upload the client’s logo and website.

Finalizing the Request #
Before sending your request to the design team, confirm your production needs.
- Click Next to enter the final Studio section.
- Use the General settings to indicate if you:
- Want to rush the ad.

- Want to mimic the client's website.
➡️ Note: Digital ads include two sizes by default. Each additional size costs 1 Studio Credit.

- If needed, include production team contact info (configured in the Account Details page).
- When ready, click Send to Studio Now.
What Happens Next #
Once submitted, your request is routed to the Studio design team.
Tip: Be as detailed as possible. The more you provide upfront, the smoother the proofing process will be.
- A proof will be uploaded to MediaOS when it's ready.
- You’ll receive a notification in MediaOS and an email alert when the proof is available.
