receiving instructions from the user to assemble a second version of a completed commercial using a second set of criteria;
receiving a second criteria selection from the user;
accessing a library of media segments stored in the memory device;
transmitting the second criteria selection to an assembly component;
searching the memory device for media segments having metadata correlating with the second criteria selection;
retrieving at least one correlating media segment from the memory device;
inserting the correlating media segment into one of the fillable media slots into the advertisement campaign, thereby generating a second version of a completed commercial;
transmitting the first version of the completed commercial to a first content provider and the second version of the completed commercial to a second content provider; and
