2 digital & rich media ad options Standard digital advertising options Digital ads are comprised of industry-standard file types (.gif,.jpg,.png,.swf). These ad units are available across all SMI Network of sites unless other wise specified in individual ad unit notes. Rich Media digital advertising options Rich Media ads are not just Flash ads. Rich media ads normally have interaction that involves more than one click, and contain multiple complex parts such as video, interactivity and animation. They may be part of a larger campaign, like the wallpaper in the takeover package. The Video Walkout is a good example of rich media. Formats accepted depends on the type of rich media ad, and can also be sent as ad tags DIGITAL AD KIT

14 General Guidelines Animation SMI restricts all animation, even subtle movement, to a limit of 15 seconds. Audio - Audio must be user-initiated. Borders - Ads must clearly be differentiated from page content through either a defined linear or graphical border, a solid contrasting background color or a combination of border and contrasting background. A 1px border in #CCCCCC or # is preferred. File Size Issues - The client/agency ad kit includes file prep instructions to meet file size requirements. If your client is having issues reaching these limits, we recommend you have them send us their working files so we can save their ads at the correct requirements while keeping content as crisp as possible. We can provide a proof once this is done. File Types - SMI accepts the following file types for advertising:.fla,.swf,.jpg,.gif and spot ad tags. Flash Advertising - Flash ads not sent as 3rd party tags must follow the file prep instructions included in the client/agency kit. Pop-Up Window Advertising - Pop-up window advertising is not permitted. The browser back button must work from the landing page. Rich Media Ads - Rich media ads not sent as 3rd party tags must follow the file prep instructions in the client/agency kit. Third Party Name and Logo Usage - Use of a third party s trademarked name, slogan or logo is prohibited without written permission from said third party (For instance, using a pro or college sports team s name or logo to promote the client s business). Video - Preferred formats, resolution and file prep information are in the client/ agency kit.
