ASC Circular 2020-026A – Addendum to the Simplification of Material Classification and Standardization of Rates
The ASC is issuing this ADDENDUM Circular to ASC 2020-026 to guide in the implementation of the simplification of material classification.
- For single medium application, please tick off in the S1 application form the type of material to be applied, i.e., TV, radio, digital, etc.
- For materials intended for use across platforms, tick off either MULTI-MEDIA MOVING or MULTI-MEDIA STATIC and then tick off further the types of media to be used within the same type of advertisement.
Example:
You have a storyboard which you intend to use on TV and digital. In the S1 application form, you will tick off MULTI-MEDIA MOVING, and under that, tick off TV and digital video. - It is important that you tick off the relevant media type/s that you will use for your material as the S2 Clearance that you will receive will specify only the medium/media being given approval to implement your material.
In the event that you fail to tick off a media type and later on decide to use an additional medium not ticked off in the original S1 application, then this will merit a re-application of the same material, to include that medium.
| MEDIUM | TYPE OF CLEARANCE |
|---|---|
| TELEVISION | FOR AIRING |
| RADIO | FOR AIRING |
| FOR PUBLICATION | |
| DIGITAL (MOVING OR STATIC) | FOR POSTING |
| OOH (MOVING OR STATIC) | FOR DISPLAY |
| COLLATERALS (MOVING OR STATIC) | FOR DISPLAY |
- REMINDERS FOR MOVING MATERIALS:
- Moving material, if this is also intended to be used on TV, should follow the standard length acceptable to KBP.
- Moving material, if this is also intended to be used on digital and will have a caption, should be applied with caption. The approved video can be implemented on TV minus the caption.
- Moving material, if also intended to be used in E-OOH, should be implemented with both VISUAL and AUDIO elements present. Should your E-OOH structure have visual only but without sound facility, you need to apply the OOH separately. Reasons are:
- Without sound, the OOH material is not anymore, the EXACT SAME material as the applied TVC or digital video, and
- There might be some claims in your TV/digital ad which are presented in SUPERS and/or QUALIFIERS that are in the AUDIO. Hence, if you use your TV/digital material in E-OOH without sound, then your claims will be misleading as there are no qualifiers heard.
- If a moving material is applied for multi-media implementation like TV, Digital and e-OOH, the Clearance will reflect one ASC Reference Number and will state Clearance for Airing
for TV, Clearance for Posting for Digital and Clearance for Display for e-OOH.
- REMINDERS FOR STATIC MATERIALS
- Static material, if intended to be used as OOH, as a print ad and/or as a poster with the EXACT/SAME elements but with different layout executions due to medium’s size or orientation, applicant will tick off MULTI-MEDIA STATIC and tick off OOH. Print and Collateral.
- Attach 3 layouts as main document, indicating one layout for OOH, one for print and one for collateral. NOTE: Only a maximum of 5 layouts with EXACT/SAME elements but laid out differently because of the medium’s size/orientation is allowed per application.
- In the above example, the Clearance will reflect one ASC Reference Number and will state Clearance For Display for the OOH and collateral and Clearance for Publication for print ad.
