# Set up a Promotional Ads Feed as a Partner

If you want to receive information on new or newly updated assets uploaded by brands you partner with, consider setting up **Ad Update Data Feeds**. Only assets marked with promotional themes by a brand or associated with a deal will be included in these feeds. To identify which assets are tagged accordingly, use the *Deal* and *Deal Type* filters on the [Manage Assets](https://app.impact.com/secure/mediapartner/ads/searchAdsDirectoryMP.ihtml) screen.
