1 General Ad Guidelines and Specs

2 General Ad Guidelines Development and delivery specifications PROVIDING FINAL ADS TO VERVE Ad creatives should be sent in one of the following formats:.png,.jpg, or.gif Naming Conventions In order for us to correctly traffic your ads, please follow our standard naming convention so we can keep track of your ads and sizes. Format: advertiser_widthxheight.ext Example: burgerking_320x50.png Supplying layered files to Verve In order to maintain the established branding of the advertiser it is important to have editable assets, as well as designated fonts, to create and deliver the advertisers messaging consistently on mobile devices. Requesting the most editable versions of these assets as possible, allows us to develop and optimize the ad with the best possible results. LAYERED ASSETS (RECOMMENDED): Layered.PNG (Adobe Fireworks) Layered.PSD (Adobe Photoshop) LOGOS:.ai (Adobe Illustrator) or.eps IMAGES (Files in highest resolution possible):.tiff or.jpg FONTS (MAC format):.otf,.ttf, or.rtf Timelines for ad delivery Our delivery team includes Planning, Design, DEV, QA, and AdOps and we work together to deliver successful campaigns on time. Below are our general ad deliver timelines, based on receiving final approved assets. STATIC BANNERS AND STATIC EXPANDABLES FOR APP AND MOBILE WEB: 2 business days after all assets are ready. RICH MEDIA FOR APP AND MOBILE WEB 8 business days with Design/DEV/QA after all assets come in THIRD-PARTY TAGS 3 business days without Design/DEV/QA after all assets come in CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT ±15 days with Design/DEV/QA after all assets come in Creative units should be delivered to Verve no later than 72 hours before the campaign is scheduled to begin. BEST PRACTICES Ads may not employ flashing or strobing animations of any element of the design. Ads may not have transparent backgrounds and may never blend into screen content. Animation does not have a loop maximum, but total animation time for all loops combined cannot exceed 15 seconds. Television and print advertising standards prohibit advertisers from issuing ads, infomercials, or infotisements in such a manner that the viewer or reader believes the content is news, rather than advertising. Verve's standards also follow this policy. Messaging and offers (price, terms, etc) must be clear to the consumer on its face. Misleading ads/offers will be rejected. This includes the use of hidden and/or punitive negative option pricing techniques. Verve General Ad Guidelines and Specs v13.2 p 1
