9 MIN READ
February 18, 2026

As a valued partner, representing your brand—and our clients’—at the highest standard is a top priority. To ensure consistency and quality across our collaboration, all creative assets must align with Samsung’s brand guidelines as well as those of our clients. Below are the key requirements and best practices to follow when submitting creative assets to our team.

Key Requirements for Client Submissions

To ensure edits and creatives are made in compliance with Samsung creative CTV guidelines, we kindly ask for the following documents to assist us in the creative review:

1. Source Files and Images

  • Images: Provide a folder of high-resolution images for the creative (1920×1080 or higher)
  • File type: PSD (editable file)

2. Brand Guidelines

  • Brand Consistency: Always share the latest version of your brand guidelines to ensure we maintain the integrity of your visual identity (e.g., colors, fonts, logo usage).
  • Fonts: If the creative includes a custom font, please send these over (TTF/OTF files) .

3. Exclusion of Competitor Devices

  • Brand Exclusivity: We cannot feature competitor brands or devices. Please ensure this is taken into consideration when submitting creative assets. For example, the creative should not showcase Apple devices only Android.
  • Clear Communication: It’s important to emphasize this restriction when providing assets to avoid confusion during the creative process.
