Awareness Teaser - Gender Home (Web)
Format Guidelines

What is Gender Home Awareness Teaser?
The Gender Home Awareness Teaser is a high-visibility advertising format designed to capture customers’ attention and introduce brands or campaigns early in their shopping journey. Positioned prominently within the Home Feed, it provides an opportunity to create a strong first impression through engaging visuals and clear messaging.
The format is particularly suited to awareness-focused campaigns, helping brands build visibility, communicate key campaign messages, and encourage customers to explore further. To make the most of the placement, creative should be visually distinctive, easy to understand at a glance, and aligned with the campaign’s overall brand identity.

How to Make the Content Experience Great
1. For better legible experiences:
Image background color must be no brighter than #F3F3F3. No additional borders needed.
Provide text elements separately rather than embedding them directly into visual assets.
Keep all critical content (Logo, Product) within the marked safe area to ensure visibility across formats.
Safe area reference - download and reference
Right click or long hold to save.

2. Avoid all caps. Use sentence case for a clean, approachable, and consistent visual hierarchy.
3. Avoid URLs in text elements. Do not include URLs directly in text elements. Use designated link components or other approved interaction patterns to direct users to external destinations.
4. Accessibility requirements. All creatives must comply with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) guidelines for Zalando ad formats. Make sure your content complies with the Zalando standard.
