Please ensure materials are received no later as materials received after your 3rd and final reminder may postpone your campaign.
  • Please send image files per the specs outlined in this document along with your click-thru URL to the appropriate email in our Materials Contact page.
  • Please include the ad-run date, publication name, and ad unit in your email subject line so we can properly traffic your materials. Ex. “8/1 TW ROS Leaderboard”

General Requirements:

  • Send images in the file format specified along with your click-thru URL. When possible, optimize your images for web viewing.
  • All click-through URLs must be fully qualified and properly formatted (example: https://www.ntmllc.com/).
  • When possible, ensure all links and assets are SSL compliant so browsers can render the creative properly in all environments and to avoid your landing page being blocked by users trying to click through your email. This refers to both your ad materials as well as all materials used on your landing page(s). NTG will not run any ad where clicking-through to your landing page or website is blocked by security protocols.

Tracking & Reporting:

  • All testing of tracking mechanism must be done by client prior to sending materials to NTG. NTG will provide metrics reports as proof of deploy and performance, but will not guarantee metrics on click trackers and impression tags as they are not within our system, and will not offer any make-goods for non-functioning trackers or tags.
  • NTG will provide metrics reports as proof of deploy and performance, but will not guarantee track ability by any third-party vendor or offer any make-goods for non-functioning third-party tags. Reports will be provided by the campaign management & sales support teams.
