Hi Giles, You're almost there! :) The CustomerFeed is like a CampaignFeed, only at the customer level. In other words, a CustomerFeed tells AdWords which Feed (by feedId <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CustomerFeedService.CustomerFeed#feedId>) it should use for one or more placeholderTypes <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201406/CustomerFeedService.CustomerFeed#placeholderTypes> (extension types) for *all* campaigns and ad groups in an account. When serving an impression, AdWords will find the most specific object that applies among all of your CustomerFeeds, CampaignFeeds, and AdGroupFeeds, and will use the FeedItems from that object for the impression. CustomerFeed is the least specific, followed by CampaignFeed, and then finally AdGroupFeed.
You might find slides 13-15 of the Feeds Update presentation <http://www.slideshare.net/marcwan/07-feeds-update> from our most recent workshops helpful. It covers the new CustomerFeed type as well as how it's used.
