Political MMS Media Guide

Make the essential information readable in text, then use media to support it. Compare two campaign examples at a real phone width.

Design for the recipient’s screen

The examples below are illustrative creative, not customer messages or Ananasi product screenshots. Use large type and a clear purpose. Keep the event time, destination, sender identity, and opt-out instruction in text so the information survives a missing image.

A preflight checklist for the exact creative

Use the actual provider’s supported MIME types and size requirements. Check the approved destination, preview the image at phone width, and retain the exact file and text version.

  • The text still explains the action without the image.
  • The important text is readable without zooming.
  • The file fits the actual sender/provider configuration.
  • The destination is correct and the campaign approves the final version.
  • Controlled tests use authorized destinations and inspect the actual result.

Local inspection and transport are different checks

The media checker runs on your device and checks selected file properties against your configured assumptions. It does not upload the file, simulate carrier transcoding, certify content acceptability, or prove handset display. A successful local check leaves the real provider and controlled test checks to complete.

Two messages. Two ways to communicate.

Illustrative creative for a fictional campaign. Essential information remains in the text; these are not sent messages or software screenshots.

Event information

The image draws attention; the text carries the venue and time.

The purpose, identity, and opt-out instruction remain available without an image.

Campaign introduction

A simple identity card reinforces a short introduction without crowding the image.
