General Production Notes
Below you find a guide that will aid you in the creation of your Special Execution. Please review our guidelines and make any necessary
adjustments to your campaign.
Overall, ad creative must be complementary to the user experience and not overpower or distract from the main reason our audience comes
to the site, to read and consume our content.
We reserve the right to halt and pull any campaign, for any reason, at any time, without providing prior notice. We would immediately provide
an explanation once the campaign has been paused.
• Colour schemes should not be garish, and should be tasteful and complementary to our site’s style.
COLOUR
• No large swatches of colour that overpower and conflict with the style of our site. (ie. Red, ...)
• Client creative should never mimic our own content style sheets including fonts & backgrounds.
STYLE • We reserve the right to enforce similar style sheets to Editorial for our native advertising, but not allow for
display creative.
• Should not distract from existing site tabular format.
For Example:
• The use of boxes in a tile mosaic,
winds up competing with the
table layout of our own page
content, particularly on the home
and section pages.
• From a recent client campaign,
wallpapers not only made heavy
LAYOUT use of red, the creative was tiled
heavily with boxes about the size
of our 300x250s, causing severe
visual distractions.
ANIMATION • Minimal use and capped rotation of animation.
• 3rd party creative cannot be changed after review/approvals have been made, and under no circumstances
PROCESS can be changed once campaign is in flight. If creative has to be changed, campaign must be stopped and pulled,
and not allowed to continue, pending adjustments and new round of reviews and approvals.
• Cannot interfere with ability of user to read or consume our content. Any expanding or overlay creative is
prohibited from using instant mouseover expansions.
• Overlays should not have transparent backgrounds, close after 7 seconds, and must have a visible manual
close [X] button.
• Cannot replicate our content, otherwise deface, impair, harm or modify images of our content.
DESIGN
• Creative should never mimic our own content style sheets including fonts & backgrounds.
• Cannot imply an association or approval of editorial consent with advertising messaging.
• Cannot be overpowering nor excessively distracting. No garish marquee style animation.
• Creative should be clearly branded.
