Booking a Campaign

When booking a campaign online you must follow these guidelines:

  1. Provide a Click URL

    This is the link that the ad campaign takes the user to once they have clicked on the advert

  2. Supply creative 5 working days in advance

    If the artwork for a campaign is delivered with less than 5 working days before the campaign is due to start, Imagine will make every effort to get the campaign live on time but can take no responsibility for a delay in a campaign beginning.

  3. Correct creative

    Please ensure all creatives are supplied in the correct format and size according to what you have booked. Imagine will not amend any artwork that has been supplied.

  4. Flash SWF campaigns must have a click tag added

    A ‘Click Tag’ must be embedded in all Flash creatives to enable us to track the statistics of your campaign. The following ActionScript code must be programmed to the button within the Flash file:

    on (release) {
      getURL (clickTAG, "_blank");
    }
  5. Back up creative for Flash and SWF campaign

    If you are running a Flash campaign, we advise that you supply a .gif or .jpg artwork file as a back-up for you campaign. The system we have in place will replace the Flash file with one of these other file types if the end user does not have the Flash Player installed. If these back-up files are not provided Imagine can have no responsibility for the campaign not appearing to certain users.

  6. Supply creative 5 working days in advance

    If the details for a campaign are delivered with less than 5 working days left before the campaign is due to start, Imagine will make every effort to get the campaign live on time but can take no responsibility for any delay in the campaign beginning.

  7. 15 Second limit on Flash animations

    Flash Animations should be no more than 15 seconds and rendered out at no more than 15 FPS (Frames Per Second)

  8. Muted audio & videos paused

    Any audio or video supplied for a campaign must be muted or paused on launch of the advert for the user to activate.

  9. Disclaimer

    Imagine Publishing reserve the right to place any campaign appearing on an Imagine site on hold.
