Desktop Floor Ad
Materials should be delivered five (5) business days prior to the start of the campaign.
Improve Media builds the functionality of the format from the image and video materials sent by the client. The format can be run by utilizing the sticky part, which is built on the bottom of the site. The sticky part works as a tactical driver. The format also works as an expanding banner: by clicking the image, a 980×400 banner will open onto the bottom of the sticky part. It’s possible to build a video in the expanding part.
Sticky part:: 1700×80 px*
Expanding part: 980×400 px
Start frame of the video: 636×264 px
Video: 636 x 264 px MP4/WEBM, max 30 seconds. Recommended size 2MB, maximum 10MB.

If the materials are delivered already prepared or any additional functionality will be built in the format, the materials must be sent completely compatible with the Adform template. See the instructions on how to make the materials compatible with Adform. If Improve Media is to build the implementation, the materials cannot be delivered as tags.
*Please note that the banner will be scaled by the width of the browser. When scaled on a bigger screen the banner will be cut a few pixels from the top and the bottom of the image. We recommend placing important texts and logos in the middle of the banner.
Parade and wallpaper

Improve Media builds the functionality of the format from the image and video materials sent by the client. The site structures vary, which means that the wallpaper appears differently on different sites. In the visual planning, it is worth considering that the wallpaper margins might be narrower on some sites while being wider on the others.
Wallpaper 1680×1200 px
Parade: 980×400 px
Wallpaper can be sent in either JPEG or PNG format. Parade cannot be run through a tag but it should be made following the Adform HTML5 instructions or delivered as an image file.

Jodel – Boosted Post with a text or image
Commenting can be allowed in case the client wishes for it.

The OJ should follow the conversation for a day and be ready to answer the comments posted in the post.
Voting, sharing and pinning the post are automatically included in the post.
The text should be delivered as a text file (.txt) or a document file (.doc). The image should be delivered in JPEG format.
