Creative Request Guidelines

When using these guidelines copy/paste them right into your Basecamp project.
Every request typically needs the latest brand logo, messaging, images or a brand URL to pull assets from, and a CTA w/ a clickout URL.
*Time frames are based off business days and standard workloads, high volumes will extend the time frame.

HTML5 Banners

To run HTML ads please provide working (standalone) HTML ads which includes an HTML file and required resources for example images, js, json, css and any other media file(s). 

If HTML ads are to be run as dynamic ads (e.g. pulling in dynamic text into the ad such as location or price) raw files of the design (Photoshop, Illustrator or InDesign Files) are required in order to re-create the ads in the AdMaxim Studio and deliver a dynamic experience.

Please note that if completed HTML ads are supplied then no editing of the design or animations can be applied. 

Please also edit ‘We can except links to ads that will run in an iframe.’ to ‘We can accept links to ads that will run in an iframe.’ which is in the specs currently.
