Digital Inline Optimized Ad Size Specifications
The Digital Synergist seeks to provide a superior experience for readers on three device types: desktop, tablet, and phone.
To optimize an ad for the Digital Synergist, you will need to create separate files for each device type. Because it is unlikely that an ad created for a desktop monitor can accommodate as much text as an ad created for print, we recommend that marketers simplify their creative for digital display and use significantly less text than they would for a print ad. Similarly, an ad for the phone should use text sparingly, with larger fonts for legibility.

Video Specifications
Please upload the video to YouTube and set it to play at normal speed, at a quality of 480p. Total playtime should not exceed two minutes.
The creative should be simplified, and use less text than a print ad.
The Synergist staff will embed the video into the digital magazine at appropriate sizes for the desktop, tablet, and phone versions.
