Production timeline

IMDb ad production timelines account for the number of working days it will take to produce an ad unit. Ad production timelines include all typical phases of an ad life cycle such as booking, design, trafficking and testing. Timelines vary depending on who is responsible for designing the ad unit.

  • All timelines begin when design assets have been received and approved by IMDb.
  • All timelines end when the ad unit is live on IMDb properties.
