Sponsored Content
- 60 character headline
- We encourage you to make the article between 400-1000 words in length
- 200x100 Branding logo
- Images related to the article- 600x300 JPG, GIF, or PNG
- The most effective sponsored content articles are educational and thought leadership in nature.
- We encourage companies to avoid making their article into a sales pitch.
- Under no circumstances will we accept an article that mentions or disparages competitors.
All elements of the program will be labeled "Sponsored"
Materials are due 5 business days prior to start of campaign
Images that are not 600x300 will be resized
Examples of Sponsored content approaches
- Thought leadership - Consists of ideas and market trends
- Education - Can educate the audience on a technical level or a general level
- Entertainment - A lighter topic that seeks to engage the audience by appealing to the industry’s lighter side
- Banners may not at any point during the campaign have additional creative that extends beyond the designated banner area unless approved by Babcox and specified in the IO. This includes but is not limited to rollovers, surveys, non-user-initiated daughter windows and DHTML elements. Approval will be determined on a case-by-case basis. All ad placements should spawn a new browser window when clicked upon.
- Babcox reserves the right to approve all creative prior to launch, and to edit, revise, or refuse advertising for any reason.
- All digital advertising campaigns are subject to a 45-day cancellation policy. Any digital ad placement that is not formally canceled in writing with 45 or more calendar days of notice prior to the start of the campaign requires a 100% cancellation fee.
- Unless advertiser/agency instructs otherwise, Babcox will continue to run creative that is already on file for a campaign for each of a campaign’s placements. Advertiser/agency is free to submit new creative (or modify existing creative) for upcoming placements at any time prior to the creative deadlines.
- If advertiser chooses to use a third-party service to deliver ads, Babcox will not be held responsible for any technical errors caused by the third-party server. In the event Babcox discovers that a third-party ad server is causing an error, the campaign will be pulled from the Babcox site and the advertiser/agency will be notified. The advertiser/agency will be responsible for advising Babcox when the error is fixed, at which point Babcox will restore the campaign within one business day. The full fee for the campaign will be charged as if no downtime had occurred.
- It is the advertiser’s/agency’s obligation to submit advertising materials in accordance with Babcox’s existing criteria or specifications (including content limitations, technical specifications and material due dates) as posted on Babcox’s website at the time of the signing of the IO. If advertising materials are late, Advertiser is still responsible for the full media buy pursuant to the IO.
- All special requests for statistics reporting must be negotiated prior to the media buy and specified on the insertion order.
- Ad materials are due 5 business days prior to the launch of the campaign.
- 3rd party tags are required for HTML5 ads.
- Babcox will accept and traffic up to three tags per placement, per campaign.
