Banner Ad Unit Guidelines
Banner Ad Unit Guidelines
by Philip King
In early 2009, the IAB launched its Reimagining Interactive Advertising initiative by bringing leaders from creative agencies, media agencies, and publishers together to discuss the next creative evolution of digital marketing. The IAB Ad Unit Guidelines concern animated in-page display ads, such as standard Flash files, flat JPGs, or animated GIFs.
The IAB Ad Unit Guidelines are intended for marketers, agencies and media companies for use in the creating, planning, buying and selling of interactive marketing and advertising. IAB Ad Unit Guidelines (November 2009).
