Best Practice/Notes

-
No capitalising of words eg: "All make-up HALF-PRICE buy NOW" must be "All make-up half-price buy now" with the exception of acronyms (ie: NZ)
- Avoid text or copy in the image where possible as this is known to negatively impact user engagement 
- Creative may be rejected if it’s considered offensive, misleading, overwhelming, or distracting.
- No use of tickers—scrolling message displays is not permitted in any creative assets. This includes but is not limited to news-style tickers, promotional scrolls, or dynamic text banners. Please ensure all messaging is presented in a static, non-scrolling format to maintain consistency and clarity.

Third Party impression and click tracking is supported.
