- Click Create campaign.
- Click the appropriate goal for the campaign. Setting your goal right at the start lets us suggest the most helpful features for your campaign. You'll still have access to all Microsoft Advertising features regardless of the goal you choose.
- On the What kind of ads do you want to run for this campaign window, select Audience ads and then click Next.
- The campaign creation wizard will then walk you through the process to add settings, audiences, targets, ads, budgets, and bids.
