Email Banner

The Sponsored email banner is a 1200x250 ad product that lives within imdb.com emails that are sent out to subscribers. The email banner displays at the top of the email, and the bottom.

The sponsored email consists of a yellow 5 px border and 30% opaque IMDb logo in the bottom left. Sponsored email banners must retain the IMDb branding elements so that our users understand that the email originated from our trusted brand.

Safe Zone (highlighted in red)

The email banner can support a single clickthrough CTA. The CTA can be placed anywhere on the banner, but needs to be clearly legible and must guide the user to an appropriate destination.

  • Placement: Displayed at the top of IMDb.com emails below the header, and at the bottom of the email
  • Dimensions: 1200x250px
✔ Do:
  • Provide clear messaging and CTA
✘ Do not:
  • Link to a destination that does not serve the CTA copy (ie. get tickets clicks through to a trailer page)
  • Remove the IMDb branding from the banner
