Brand Boost ads appear on social media platforms and offsite web browsing. Each platform has its size requirements and placements. We ask that you supply all of the sizes listed in the chart below for optimal display and for reaching the widest audience.
Campaign setup requires special handling and extra time to review and establish online views. Please submit your assets 15 business days before your scheduled start date. You will have the opportunity to preview your social banners before we launch.
We can accept up to 3 sets of artwork or videos per placement to run simultaneously in equal rotation with each other. For example, with Facebook, you may supply Banner Set #1, Banner Set #2, and Video for the month of June.
Please supply these items for all of the sizes listed in the following chart:
