Best practise:

• Include your brand logo (if using animation, this needs to be on every frame)
• Use a clear CTA (call to action)
• Include USPs such as prices, promotions and exclusives.
• Create variations of your banners e.g. busy conference image and a product image.

Asset Requirement:

• Max Size 150KB
• Non-animated image format: JPEG, PGN,.GIF
• Animated Image format: GIF, SWF (flash),.ZIP (HTML5)
• HTML5 Formats: Zip containing HTML and optionally CS, JS, GIF, PNG, JPEG, SVG responsive or standard
• Animation length and speed:
• Animation length must be 30n seconds or shorter
• Animations can be looped, but the animations must stop after 30 seconds
• Animated GIF ads must be slower than 5fps
• Flash ads must be 24FPs or slower
