Targeted Impressions

[Tech Specs]

Below you’ll find the format and sizes of the creative you need to supply us with.

Please provide us with your creative and the tracked destination link (URL) you want your ad to go to (you can supply multiple URLs if  you’d like to track each ad individually).
All assets must be supplied at least 3 working days prior to the go live date, and at least 10 working days over Clearing (July & August). This will ensure your campaign begins on the agreed start date. If any assets are received late it may affect delivery and/or performance.


Native placements

Our best performing ads which help maximise your campaign’s exposure. We’re no longer able to run your campaign without Native included. Failure to supply may result in your creative being rejected with a request to update. If you’re unable to supply, please contact our Client Services team, clientservices@thestudentroom.com.

We are able to accept HTML5 creatives, in order for us to run them we need to ensure that they pass all the relevant checks. If you are planning on supplying HTML5 creatives please make sure:

  • that each .zip folder is less than 1000kb
  • to run all the creatives through this validator with no errors showing
 

Please note, failure to meet the technical specifications could mean we are unable to run the creative. If this happens, it will be returned with a request to update and meet the specifications.
