Macros

The following Macros are supported by Buzz. These macros may be included in Creative Templates, the content of the Creatives or the click_url field of the Creative. Macros are case-sensitive and should be surrounded by double curly brackets on both sides to be properly recognized. For example, the macro FOO should be represented in the creative as {{FOO}}, not {{Foo}}.
