Examples
Recommended default creative dimensions
Recommended default artwork size: 2560x1440
Must be built as responsive HTML, so that all content scales and resizes to fit the width and height of the window.
Safezones
Content-free safezones should be added to the top and bottom of your creative. The size of the safezones required will depend on the setup of midscroll placement:
| Midscroll Height (Publisher Dependant) | Recommended Safe Zones (Top & Bottom) |
| 100% | 10% |
| 80% | 20% |
| 50% | 30% |
Safe zones should be free of any important content (text, logos, CTA’s etc), as they may be overlapped by publisher page elements.
Note: Some publisher sites have a nav bar that covers the top of the creative - please check the publisher guidelines and make additional allowances with your safe zones if required.
Format description and guidance
Midscroll is a high impact responsive format that appears mid-way down a publisher page (in-between page content). It must be built so that all the imagery and content scales to fit the browser window. It is typically served to appear at 80% of the available browser window height, but can also be 50% or 100% (dependent on publisher). For more information about building responsive creative, check out our Guide to Responsive HTML and building responsive creative guide.
All creative assets (images, videos, scripts etc) used by your banner must be included within the creative Zip-file. Linking to assets hosted on external severs is not permitted, and may result in your ad being blocked by some vendors. The only exception to this rule is for webfonts hosted by fonts libraries for licensing purposes, such as Adobe Typekit, Google Fonts, MyFonts etc.

To enable video tracking metrics, see our API for measuring VTR guide.
For creatives hosted using 3rd party tags, use the appropriate click methods and trackers for that provider examples.
