The Sky AdSmart ad chosen will be from a selection of ads stored in the box at the time of viewing so old recording will have the most current advertiser brands.
If you have a linear campaign and a Sky AdSmart campaign, do they have to run at the same time or can they have variable dates? Sky AdSmart campaigns can have an independent start and end dates from the linear campaigns.
