Thanks to Vibe.co’s ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) technology, videos are scanned in seconds for inappropriate content and launched as soon as they are approved (it can take up to 30 minutes).

Don’t:
Submit political ads in the United States if the advertiser is not located in the United States.
Submit anonymously funded campaigns.

Exclusively target viewers 21 years old and up
Include a “For Adult Use Only” disclaimer when promoting infused products
Tailor your creative to meet local CBD/Cannabis laws. For more details on local laws, click through state by state. For those states that link to the full text of their cannabis bills, we recommend using Ctrl + F to search for key terms like marketing and advertisements:

Portray product consumption
Mention pricing, potency statements, or promotional offers
Disney+ and Peacock Creative Guidelines
General Information
Disney+ and Peacock have specific creative guidelines that Vibe cannot overlook.
When selecting these streaming services, you must ensure compliance with these guidelines, as failure to do so may result in your campaigns not being delivered on Disney+ or Peacock.
Also, note that the additional creative validation process from Disney+ or Peacock can take a few extra days to review the creative.
For those reasons, Vibe recommends not selecting Disney+ or Peacock alone in the published campaigns but rather pairing them with other channels to ensure the successful delivery of the campaigns.
If you have selected Disney+, or Peacock and notice no impressions have been delivered, you can contact your Account Manager for help.
Below is a detailed list of the creative specifications for each publisher.
