How to deliver advertising material to us

Materials are sent to traffic@vg.no no later than three working days before the start of the campaign.

In-banner: HTML / Tag specifications

These types of products can be delivered as Tag / HTML:

  • In-banner video Netboard and Board (can be delivered as both video file and Tag / HTML)
  • NorgeNÅ products can only be delivered as javascript Tag
  • In-banner video brandboard
  • In-banner video Board XL

Tag is a banner encoded in a third-party tag (script), which can, among other things, deliver video content. The third-party script tag is hosted by our ad server, while the video content is hosted by a third party and retrieved by the tag when the ad is displayed. This is technically banner material, and Schibsted will not be able to deliver video metrics on campaigns with such material.

HTML5 is a banner encoded in HTML5, which can, among other things, deliver video content. The HTML5 code is hosted by our adserver, while the video content is hosted by third parties and retrieved by the HTML5 code when the ad is displayed. This is technically banner material, and Schibsted will not be able to deliver video metrics on campaigns with such material.

* For In Banner Video Horseshoes and Wallpaper, only the Skyscraper format is allowed for video / animations. For the sake of the user experience on our sites, video / animations are allowed in a maximum of half of the Skyscraper format. This applies regardless of whether Skyscraper is purchased alone, or as part of Horseshoe or Wallpaper.

NB! We do not allow "console.log (" statements to be contained within the code, as this may slow down our pages and destroy debugging processes on the sites. "Console.log (" must therefore be removed from the code before the material is submitted.

In-banner: Video file specifications

Video files are advertisement videos that are delivered to AdOps (traffic@schibsted.no) as a regular video file.

These types of products can be delivered as a video file:

  • In-banner video Netboard and Board (can be delivered as both video file and Tag / HTML)
  • NorgeNÅ products can only be delivered with javascript Tag
  • Native Ads Video

Live campaigns:

We've simplified the direct-purchase specification so you, as an advertiser, don't have to worry about technical video specifications. We only require the correct ratio and maximum duration for the video file.

Video files must be

  • maximum 60 seconds duration (we recommend a maximum of 15 seconds)
  • 16: 9 ratio

For Direct campaigns, as a rule, no other requirements for file type or file specifications apply.

Received video file will be converted by Schibsted Ad Operations if it
does not match the technical formatting required by the ad server
has too loud a sound.

We always contact the advertiser if the video file can not be converted without experienced image or audio quality change.

Received video file will be sent in return if

  • The movie is too long
  • The video has a different ratio than 16: 9
  • It can not be converted with acceptable quality or size for upload to the ad server. Specification for programmatic purchases shows the technical quality required.
  • Ads should not loop

Received video file will be converted by Schibsted Ad Operations if it
does not match the technical formatting required by the ad server
has too loud a sound.
