Create a strategy

In a defined placement, a strategy is a decision tree that dynamically controls which experiences are displayed based on contextual information, such as details about the website visitor and the page being viewed.

The decision tree serves as a routing mechanism, using branches (traffic splits or condition groups) to direct visitors to specific experiences.

Each experience is defined by configurations for player behavior, media curation, and advertising, which is managed in the Dynamic Strategy Rules library.
