Hi Josh, I noticed in your code that you are setting the adAsImage > <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201506/AdGroupAdService.TemplateAd#adAsImage> > field, > and that's the only place where you use an *Image* object.

If I download the report for two "Image app engagement ad's", one created manually via the AdWords UI and one created automatically with the program I sent you the structure is the same. These arguments seem to favor, in my view, that the adAsIamge is not being ignored.
In general, if you are creating a large # of similar ads (e.g., all for the > same app), you can use the originAdId > <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201506/AdGroupAdService.TemplateAd#originAdId> > to > specify an existing ad to copy from. > Right.

This is also what the API reference says. I tried it and it doesn't work though. I must have not explained my problem very clearly so I would like to go straight down to the point with the next question. Can you give me a proper example on how to create an "Image app engagement ad" for an AdGroup within a "Display Network only - Mobile app engagement"-Campaign? As you said, the program I sent you does not reflect the proper usage of the API for this goal.
