Ad Inventory Types

An ad inventory type specifies the type of content where your ads will appear, letting you choose when they are shown to redditors. Depending on your selection, you can keep your brand away from sensitive contexts and gain contextual control to engage the right audience at the right time.

To update the inventory type for your ad account, open the main menu and select Inventory Type under Account > Ads.

This will apply to all campaigns in your ad account.
