Technical requirements for creative

Requirements for creating an interactive creative:

  • The file must be uploaded as a ZIP archive.
  • The size does not exceed 2 MB.
  • Does not request mraid.js.
  • Does not make HTTP requests.
  • It has a vertical orientation.
  • It has an adaptive design for compatibility with different types of devices with different resolutions.
  • Does not contain a JavaScript redirect.
  • Consists of a single HTML file. Advice on combining data into a single file: encode the image in a base64 string, and integrate JavaScript in index.html.
  • The creative code uses the meta tag <meta name="ad.size" content="width=100%,height=100%">, which indicates design flexibility.
  • The creative code uses the JavaScript function MTRG.onCTAClick() or FbPlayableAd.onCTAClick() when a user interacts with a call to action in an ad. myTarget uses this code to go to the corresponding page in the app store.

It is important to meet 4 conditions when creating an interactive creative to successfully launch an advertising campaign:

  1. Create an interactive creative as a single file.
  2. Encode images in a base64 string, and integrate JavaScript in index.html.
  3. Use the meta tag <meta name="ad.size" content="width=100%,height=100%"> for adaptive design.
  4. Use the JavaScript function MTRG.onCTAClick() or FbPlayableAd.onCTAClick() to take the user to the corresponding page in the app store by clicking the call to action button.
