When your brand is developing creative for digital ads, you should know the standard ad sizes for all platforms. It’s important to start thinking about this before you even start shooting content for your campaign.
As an omni-channel creative agency, we think about this for our clients all the time, encouraging them to shoot for multiple channels in a single photoshoot. Our creative directors and photographers ensure that you’ll receive content in multiple file types, dimensions, and sizes that correspond to each of your desired platforms.
We often get asked by our clients for digital ad sizes or industry standard ads sizes — and we’re here to share that expertise with you! From banner ad sizes to video ad sizes, we’re breaking it all down. Be sure to bookmark this page for easy reference!
