      If the file is valid, a message will appear in the top right-hand corner saying “file is valid and ready to upload”.

      Please give Brandscope Account Manager at least 24 hours to create.
      EDM Material = images 600 pixels wide (generally a Brand banner at the top and then 1-3 product/marketing images) and a blurb talking about the new Release.
