Selecting ad creative is one of the most important task for DSPs (Demand-Side Platform) in online advertising. DSPs should not only consider the effectiveness of the ad creative but also the user's psychological status when selecting ad creative. In this study, we propose an efficient and easy-to-implement ad creative selection algorithm that explicitly considers wear-in and wear-out effects of ad creative due to the repetitive ad exposures. The proposed system was deployed in a real-world production environment and tested against the baseline. It out-performed the existing system in most of the KPIs.
