      • Additional Notes:
      • Only one file type is needed. JPG files with EXIF metadata are not supported.
      • Mobile phones that don't support image animation tend to render only the first image frame. For this reason, the MMA recommends that the first image frame should contain the entire advertising message, instead of leaving important information for subsequent frames.
      • Third party serving is not allowed on non-rich media banners, however we do offer pixel tracking (DFA and Atlas are the approved vendors for pixel tracking).
      • All creatives must be received by CNN.com a minimum of 20 business days prior to contracted launch date.

      • If client does not have mobile optimized web site a landing page can be built. Please allow 20 business days minimum lead time.
