Overview
In-graphic ads are advertisements embedded within your broadcast graphics — such as sponsor logos on scoreboards or ad banners within lower-thirds. This article explains how to configure in-graphic ad slots within your game plan, assign specific ads from your organisation, or delegate ad slots to home and away clubs.
In-graphic ads appear as part of the graphic itself — they are baked into the broadcast output. Common ad slot sizes include 1000×200 for banner ads, 500×250 for sidebar placements, and 1000×100 for thin banner strips.
This article applies to organisations using Rive themes with Automated Game Plans.
Prerequisites
* Access to the LIGR Automation platform
* A game plan with graphics that include ad placement areas
* Ad creatives uploaded to your organisation or club accounts
* Graphics with defined ad slots (e.g., 1000×200, 500×250 ad areas)
How to Configure In-Graphic Ads
1. Navigate to the Automation section and open the game plan you want to add in-graphic ads to.
2. The game plan view shows all playlists (pre-game, live, post-game) and the graphics assigned to each.
3. Find the graphics that contain ad placement areas. These are defined in the FUSE graphic design as specific regions where ad images will be displayed.
4. Click on an ad slot to open the ad assignment panel.
5. You can select a specific ad creative from your organisation's ad library. This is useful for league-wide sponsors.
6. Alternatively, delegate an ad slot to the home or away club. This allows each club to manage their own sponsor ads through the Club Portal. When delegated, the club's assigned ad automatically appears for their matches.
7. Use the game plan preview to verify that ads appear correctly within the graphics. Check positioning, sizing, and that the correct ads are displayed for both organisation-assigned and club-delegated slots.
Ad Slot Sizes
Common in-graphic ad slot sizes include:
* 1000×200 for full-width banner ads
* 500×250 for half-width sidebar placements
* 1000×100 for thin banner strips
Organisation vs Club Delegation
Organisation-level ads override club-delegated ads if both are assigned to the same slot.
Delegating ad slots to clubs empowers them to manage their own sponsors through the Club Portal.
In-Graphic vs Detached Ads
In-graphic ads differ from detached ads. Detached ads are standalone overlays with independent positioning that can be placed anywhere on screen at any size.
