Awards & Recognition northeast silver awards
The American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE) honored Financial Planning for its May 2011 cover and Bob Veres for his two columns on a proposed fiduciary for advisors and the declining influence of the Financial Planning Association.
a Year in PreViewFinancial planners have seen what some regard as a lifetime of market volatility in just the past decade. But that’s hardly the only volatility facing the profession this year: The hunt for yield has forced advisors and their clients to seek out new investment options. Many lawmakers – both Democrats and Republicans – are eager to impose new regulations on wealth managers. The shift toward independent practices
and away from wirehouse-affiliated advisors is both significant and continuing. And technology – social media, software and tablets and other gadgets – are all dramatically altering the way advisors interact with clients and manage their practices.
For more than four decades, our readers have known that they can count on Financial Planning to provide timely and reliable news, analysis and commentary to help them best manage their advisory businesses and best serve their clients. Especially in times of heavy volatility, our readers turn to Financial Planning magazine and Financial-Planning.com. We’re invested in advisors.
On behalf of the entire staff, we look forward to serving you.

PdF SPEcIFIcAtIoNSWe prefer to receive digital advertising files in adobe’s PDF format created from an adobe application using the PDF/X-1a:2001 specification. Typically, PDF files are created from Postscript files utilizing adobe acrobat Distiller, but PDF’s created directly from inDesign will work as well. We do NOT recommend exporting PDF files directly from your native operating system, Quark or other non-adobe applications. The results of exporting from non-adobe applications can be unreliable and will not meet our specifications because the profiles listed below were not used in the creation process.

allowable dimensions. Maximum single page image area is: 11” W X 17” H and maximum spread image is: 22” W X 17” H.
• all pages should be built to trim size. all bleed elements should extend 1/8” or more beyond trim size. Please keep all images and copy within the live area, at least ¼” away from trim. The trim sizes for our publications are detailed in our rate card.
• Crop marks indicating trim size should be placed at least 1/4” or more beyond bleed so they do not appear within that area where images may print.

lead time for Rich Media Banners: 5-10 business days prior to campaign start date.
lead time for Special Rich Media Formats (Interstitial Welcome Ads, Peel-Backs, Expandables): ad Materials due 10 business days prior to campaign’s start date.
FlASH codING GUIdElINESPlease note that Flash ads must conform to the iaB interactive ad specs and guidelines—including file size, animation, and content-in addition to the specific coding specs noted in the SourceMedia Production Guidelines.
NOTE: if a third party is serving the ad, please follow that vendor's instructions for coding the Flash ClickTag. all the aspects of the ad (i.e. file size, animation, etc.) must be in accordance with SourceMedia ad specifications.
SoURcEMEdIA FlASH PRodUctIoN GUIdElINESFlash version: We support up to Flash version 10
clIcKtAG WItH FlASHTo track when a user clicks within a flash, a ClickTag variable MuST be embedded in the .fla file. Please follow this example and instruction:1. add an invisible button making entire area of the banners clickable.2. attach the following object action to the button: On (release) {geturl (_level0.clickTag, "_blank");}
In ActionScript 3, the equivalent code would be:function Clicked(e:MouseEvent):void{ navigateTourl(new urlrequest(loaderinfo.parameters.clickTag), "_blank");}**This will embed the ClickTag variable in the Fla file. This allows the click-through url to be modified at anytime during the campaign, as opposed to hard-coding the click command in the .SWF file.
target="_blank" is required in the "Basic Actions" to make sure the click thru opens a new window. NotE: The implementation is different for each version of Flash, please refer to Macromedia documentation for specific instructions and syntax for using ClickTag variable and the geturl action.http://www.macromedia.com/resources/richmedia/tracking/
When submitting Macromedia Flash banner(s) you must supply:1. a compiled .swf file – 40K2. a back-up standard GiF/JPEG image file for non-rich Media enabled browsers – 40K3. a click-through url
FIlENAMES1. all files should begin with the same file name and may not exceed 12
characters excluding the extension name. (Example: abc300x250.fla, abc.300x250.swf, abc300x250.gif)
The following characters should not be included in the filename: ampersands: & asterisks: * Slashes: / or \ Spaces: Question Marks: ?
2. in order to preview the background color of your .swf file in DFP, ensure it is not set in Flash. instead, set the bottom/last layer to have a graphic that spans the complete movie, so no matter what the background color is set to the user will always see the background color.
SUBMISSIoN INFoRMAtIoNone-pixel border: SourceMedia highly recommends inserting a one-pixel border around the ads that have a white background so the user may be able distinguish it from white background areas of the site.
Referring URl/link and tracking: SourceMedia will not schedule any campaigns with inactive referring URl/link (destination page/site).
Email or FtP Information: Send materials and files using the following FtP. Please use the name of the folder or the subject line of the email to specify the name of the product where your ad will run. Email to your online ad traffic coordinator [email protected].

ExPANSIoN dIREctIoNS: 1. Creative pixel sizes include banner and panels. 2. The 728x90 Top/Bottom expands down only. 3. The 300x250 expands left. 4. The 120x600/160x600 expands right only. 5. The 970x66 Pushdown Expands down6. The Pub Bar 120x60 opens a 640x480 ad in the middle of the page.
We don’t use 3rd Party tags for Peel Back ads.7. Method of expansion and un-expansion must be the same8. Expansion “hotspots” must be clearly identified. “Hotspots” cannot exceed 33%
of ad space; horizontal “hotspots” cannot exceed 50% of horizontal pixel length; vertical “hotspots” cannot exceed 50% of vertical pixel length.
BESt PRActIcES GUIdElINES:1. “user initiation” defined: user initiation is the willful act of a user to engage with an ad. users may interact by clicking on the ad, and/or rolling over an ad (or a portion of an ad). With respect to user initiation for the purposes of these guidelines, a roll-over is defined as a willful pause of the user’s cursor on the target portion of the creative (the “hot spot”), such pause lasting at least 1-second in duration, before an action may be initiated by the ad (i.e. trigger an expand, etc.). This pause/ delay prevents unwanted user initiated actions, and false reporting of user engagement.2. Percentage of CPu usage is based on the Publisher defined benchmark end
user-CPu for its audience. For SourceMedia this complies with iaB standards best recommendation of 33%.
3. Note: rising Star ad units are designed to be the only rich media ad unit displayed on a webpage. Because of increased file load size, displaying a rising Star ad unit with any other rich media unit may compromise page-load performance.
