Creativity Policy

Provision Terms

Send all creatives to Italiaonline Traffico and/or any third-party service as described in the format specifications:

  • Within 3 working days for all adv formats.
  • By Wednesday morning for campaigns starting on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.

Failure to follow these instructions may result in delays in creativity publication.

Sending Policy

Order ID and description in the e-mail subject

  • The Italiaonline Traffico Team will send an email to the advertiser at the beginning of campaign processing, requesting creatives. The emial subject should include the Italiaonline order ID followed by a brief description (e.g., LB_012345 – Advertiser Name – Product Name – Month Year).
  • Please retain the order ID and description in subsequent communications to ensure proper handling of the order.
  • If the advertiser does not have the order ID or contacts Italiaonline directly before receiving the Traffico team’s email, please use the following format in the mail subject: Advertiser Name – Product Name – Month/Year.

What to send by email

In addition to the above-mentioned email subject and the materials specified in the ad format specifications, please include the following elements in any communication:

DISPLAY

Creativity files:

  • Images, animations (*.jpg, *.gif, etc.) already optimized for delivery.
  • Do not send source files (*.psd, etc.): Italiaonline does not modify the creativities.

Tracking:

  • Landing page destination URL or click command.
  • Tracking pixel in safe mode (if required and compatible with the format).

Redirect:

  • Italiaonline uses DFP (DoubleClick for Publishers) Ad Server. Redirect Campaigns require tags with macro (anti-caching and click) suitable for DFP. Alternatively, provide instructions to customize the tags to ensure anti-caching and clicks logging on DFP.
  • If the advertiser wants to use DFA (DoubleClick for Advertisers) tags, send both JavaScript and Internal Redirect versions.

DEM

Italiaonline uses the mappEngage platform.

  • Always attach HTML with absolute path for images.
  • For DEMs with customer internal tracking, in order to ensure accurate counting of clicks and impressions, replace the anti-caching parameter or [timestamp] with mappEngage primary key <%${ecm:random(1, 1000000000)}%>    ecm:process=”false”.
