Additional information.
Prohibited
- Avoid using capital letters for emphasis, such as in "All make-up HALF-PRICE buy NOW," except when dealing with acronyms like "NZ."
- Avoid placing text on images, as it can reduce user engagement, clutter visuals, and obscure the core message.
- 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.
Tracking
