Political Advertising Creatives

Banner ad creatives

To ensure TTPA compliance, BidTheatre DSP will overlay each political creative with a transparency notice:

  • Located at the bottom of the ad

  • White background, black text

  • Full ad width

  • 60 pixels high

  • Black border of 2 pixels

  • Text will appear larger in wider ads

Please note that:

  • the notice will not be transparent, meaning that the bottom 80 pixels of the ad creative will not be seen.

  • creatives are still expected to be built and uploaded of the same dimensions as the ad space they intend to run

  • only ads of at least 300 pixels width and at least 250 pixels height are supported. Campaigns with creatives of smaller dimension will not run.

Video ad creatives

In video advertisements we have no possibility of dynamically overlaying the ad with the required transparency notice. Instead, we require the each ad to contain a compliant TTPA transparency notice that displays a QR code that will link to the BidTheatre DSP transparency page. The QR code will be available from the BidTheatre admin UI.

The transparency notice must:

  • Be in the language of the advertisement

  • Be easily readable with clear contrast (black text on white background recommended)

  • Contain information about

    • The name of the political event

    • The name of the sponsor

    • An instruction of how to find more information (via the QR code)

    • Either be present during the full ad length in a part of the ad

    • Or be present in the full ad space before the ad starts and after it ends

More information on this will follow as support matures.
