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 Tubi’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.

  • File type: PSD (editable file)
  • Videos: Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects Files

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).
