Creative Specs

Also: Ad specs

A platform's technical requirements for an ad: dimensions, aspect ratio, file type, file size, duration, frame rate, bit rate, text limits, and safe zones. Specs change several times a year and are the single most common reason a campaign fails to launch on schedule.
