MICROSOFT ADS
Microsoft Ads campaigns, from brief to paused campaign
AdsFellow builds your Microsoft Ads strategy, copy and visuals, then creates the campaign in your account, paused: nothing spends until you activate it yourself in Microsoft Ads.
What AdsFellow prepares for Microsoft Ads
AdsFellow prepares your Microsoft Advertising strategy, copy and visuals, then creates the campaign paused in your account. Depending on the format, your ads are text in Bing search results, or ads with images on MSN, Outlook, Microsoft Edge and Microsoft’s partner sites.
- Search: text (headlines and descriptions) in Bing results, when someone searches your keywords
- Audience and Multimedia: ads with images on MSN, Outlook, Microsoft Edge and partner sites
- Targeting by keywords and in-market intent; for ads with images, also by industry and job function (LinkedIn data), in the countries where Microsoft allows it
- The campaign is created paused: nothing spends until you activate it
- Nothing is posted on a profile or social network

Questions about Microsoft Ads
Can AdsFellow create campaigns in my Microsoft Ads account?
Yes, for the open formats (see the journey list). AdsFellow creates the campaign paused in your account; you review it, then activate it yourself in Microsoft Ads. Some formats need an existing catalog, feed or conversion goals: the app guides you step by step.
Do the ads start on their own?
No. Everything is created paused: nothing spends until you activate the campaign yourself in Microsoft Ads.
Do I need my own Microsoft Ads account?
Yes. You connect your own account through Microsoft's official login. AdsFellow never asks for your password.
What does AdsFellow generate for Microsoft specifically?
Search campaign structure for the Bing network, search ads, and audience and import logic (reusing what already works on Google).
Is connecting my Microsoft Ads account safe?
You connect via official login (OAuth), your access is stored encrypted, and you can disconnect at any time.
Does AdsFellow set a budget on my Microsoft Ads campaigns?
AdsFellow sets a minimal technical budget on the campaign, which is created paused: nothing spends. You set your real budget in Microsoft Ads before activating it.
Which campaign objectives can I run for Microsoft?
AdsFellow builds your Search campaign for the Bing network around your goal (leads, sales or traffic), with keyword themes and ads.
Can I edit the campaign before I activate it on Microsoft?
Yes. You edit the copy and visuals in AdsFellow before sending. The campaign is then created paused in your Microsoft Advertising account: you can still edit it before activating it yourself.
Build your Microsoft Ads Campaign Plan
A short brief is enough: AdsFellow prepares the Plan, ad copy and visuals, then creates the campaign paused in your account when the format is open. Otherwise, you download them to set up yourself.
