# Welcome to Quantcast

Congratulations on logging in to the Quantcast Platform for the first time! Once you log in, you will have **30 days** to preview the platform. In Preview, you can explore all of our platform capabilities.

## Setup and Quick Guide

To get you set up, you will be asked a few simple questions so we can personalize your platform experience.

- Note that if you are an agency (i.e., you have indicated that you are advertising on behalf of your client), you will have to create your account (step 1) first before you can click any of the other four steps.
- To create your first account, click on the **Create New Account** button. A form will pop up.

- Enter the required information:
  - Account name
  - Default Country
  - Timezone
  - Currency
  - URL
  - Advertiser Category (IAB)
- Read the Campaign Policy and check the box, then click **Create****.** This will take you to the ads manager page of the account you just created.

To get out of preview mode, you must pay for your first campaign with a credit card or be approved for a line of credit. To apply for a line of credit, hover on the **Preview** pill and select **Apply for Credit**. The credit check process takes up to 3 days.
