Testing & Deadlines

Our Traffic team normally requires at least one full business day to test any third party re-direct and/or GIF/JPEG/SWF creative submissions. Please allow at least two days for this process prior to the ad start date. For example, creative/copy changes that should start on a Monday morning must be received by the preceding Thursday (GMT) and by Friday for third party re-directs. We require three full business days to test Rich Media solutions, third party served rich media such as Eyeblaster, Tangozebra, Motif, Unicast, CheckM8 and Point Roll, rich media file types, sponsorship/integration elements, and all other non-standard creative submissions. Please allow ample time for this process prior to promotion start date. One week advanced notice is recommended for new advertisers. Any element not meeting spec will be returned for revision, which may delay the expected live date. If you have any questions regarding creative submissions, please e-mail your sales rep or our Traffic Dept.
