Allows updating or creating specific types of creatives. Currently
Banner creatives and CustomTag (HTML/JS) creatives can be updated,
and only CustomTag creatives can be created.
When adding a new creative, id must be null, and the fields campaignId,
creativeType, and creativeSubType must be provided. As of this writing
only the HTML/JS based CustomTag banners can be created, so the caller
must set:
"creativeType": "banner"
and
"creativeSubtype": "htmlTag",
