Newsletter Sponsorships
- Advertisers are advised to supply an additional identically-sized image-based graphic (preferably JPEG or GIF) for browsers that are not Flash-compatible. As these are often on low-bandwidth/and or portable devices, filesize should be kept to a minimum.

- The same advertisement must be used for all four weekly newsletters
- Can be a JPEG or static GIF image
JPEG, PNG & GIF Images
- A fully-qualified URL must be supplied for linking to the client's website or e-mail address, or to an AngloINFO-hosted page (such as an INFOsheet)
- No image maps are supported, so there can be only one clickable link
Flash Animations (SWF)
- URLs should not be embedded; rather, clickTag code must be used
- Animations must be SWFs compatible with Adobe/Macromedia Flash 8.0 or earlier, with a maximum duration of 15s.
- A fully-qualified URL must be supplied for each clickTag. (The capitalisation of the clickTags must be: clickTag as this is case-sensitive)
- If multiple clickable links are required, subsequent URLs must be embedded (and will not be tracked by AngloINFO's ad server).
- No automatically-playing sounds may be embedded. If audio is to be part of the advertisement, the user must be required to instigate the playing of the audio by a deliberate action on their part
