Ad Specifications

Responsive Rich Media Ads are creative display ad units that are interactive. They can include video files, expand and provide direct access to functions native to a desktop computer, smartphones, and tablets. These creative display ad units can also connect to social media, calendars, and other functions, like printers and email. All interactions are measurable and reportable, giving you a deeper understanding of ad views, social sharing, coupons printed and more.

In order to run on cleveland.com, the ad must become completely static after 15 seconds – all animation must stop. A static backup GIF or JPG will be required in case the user does not have a Flash player installed. FLA files may be required for troubleshooting purposes, especially if the ad was not built to spec. If asked to provide a FLA file, please include the fonts and raster images used within the advertisement.
A clickTAG is the standard parameter used in Flash ads. The parameter is a variable that defines the destination URL from the markup code. By using a clickTAG, the advertiser can easily see and modify the URL without a Flash developer. All Flash ads must use the following clickTAG tracking method to deliver properly on our site.
