Connected TV checklist

Everything your CTV ad needs to be approved and drive results.

Duration is exactly 00:30:000

Creative that deviates from 00:30:000, even by a fraction of a second, risks rejection by publishers.

Emphasizes your dealership’s name

Since TVs are unclickable, focus on reinforcing your dealership’s name throughout the ad to improve recall and searchability.

File type is a VAST tag or an .mp4

Connected TV creative must be a VAST tag or an .mp4 file.

Is made for TV

Design professional-quality TV ads that stand out on screen, capturing attention with polished visuals and engaging content.

Includes a title card

End your video with a title card displayed for at least 00:03 to provide essential information and leave a lasting impression.

Uses a voiceover

Incorporate a voiceover to ensure the message is clearly communicated, engaging the viewer both visually and audibly.

Has a watermark

Use a watermark to maintain consistent branding and enhance brand recognition throughout the video.

Avoids vanity URLs or phone numbers

Since most consumers will search for key messages, avoid vanity URLs or phone numbers unless they provide clear value or incentive.

Is tailored to your target audience

Design your creative with your automotive audience in mind, customizing it for each stage of the customer journey to maximize relevance and impact.

Follows correct file naming conventions

Avoid using punctuation (periods, commas, etc.) in file names. Use underscores instead. Example: Abc_EMG_24Mar_CTV
