Bid for a Space in the Next Commsrisk Advertising Auction
Advertising spaces on Commsrisk are sold through auctions that are held twice a year. The deadline for bids in next auction is midnight on July 10. Winning bidders will take possession of their space for six months. They may change the advert displayed in that space as often as they like, at no extra charge. Commsrisk can display all common file type for images (PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF) and we allow the use of animated GIFs. Advertisers just need to ensure the size of the file is not too large and that the dimensions of the image matches the size of the advertising space.
