Please note! HTML5 ad materials from a third party tag cannot be utilized for campaigns targeted via the Alma Data tool. You can find the instruction for HTML5 materials below.

General guidelines for using video and sound

The ad can contain sound. The sound is being played with a 0.5 second lag, after the user takes their mouse on the ad and ends, once the user moves the mouse away from the ad. If the ad contains video with auto-play, the video must start without sound. The user must also be able to close the video.

We recommend advertisers to use the standardized video ad solutions of Alma Media. The guidelines for these formats can be found below. If the advertiser wish to use video in other ad formats, please note that the ad must fulfill the requirements for that specific ad spot.

Special Ad Solutions

Dominance = Giant Panorama + Skyscraper + Double Giant Box

Wallpaper

Wallpaper, general guidelines:

  • Wallpaper consists of the following elements: wallpaper, giant panorama and target url
  • If the wallpaper is clickable, it should contain a call-of-action for the user
  • The advertisement's key message or call-of-action should be implemented in the giant panorama
  • The size of the wallpaper is 1600 x 1200 px
  • The size of giant panorama is 980 x 400 px
  • The creative should be subtle and it needs to be approved by Alma Talent at least five (5) days prior to the launch date of the campaign. Alma Talent reserves the right to ask for modifications on the creative.
  • Dynamic wallpaper is locked around the content area, so that the wallpaper is being shown all the time when browsing through the site.
  • The wallpaper can also be attached to the giant panorama creative, so that when browsing through the site the wallpaper follows the scrolling.
  • Adding a background color around the wallpaper is possible. In such case, please add to your material submission e-mail the hex-code of the background color (eg. #ffffff).

Tips for creative design:

The key message of the ad or prompt should be placed in the giant panorama on the link. The core message, a message of support should be placed at the top of the wallpaper near the edge of the content, as on the smaller screens part of the wallpaper can be hidden away. Please note that depending on the size of the users screen the visibility varies. In smaller screens some or most of the content won't be visible. For therefore we recommend using a repeating image in the wallpaper's design. On mobile devices the wallpaper and giant panorama sold together with the wallpaper do not appear at all. Wide billboards are not displayed in connection with the wallpaper, so billboards used by the state are available. We do not recommend leaving a white area in the middle of the wallpaper.
