Native Video Ad is an interactive in-media ad format that uses programmatic display advertising inventory for distribution. Video ads appear in various different sizes depending on the placement on which they appear, but the MPU, or 300x250 is the most common format. An ideal aspect ratio for the video is the standard 16:9. The video is autoplay while visible and will not play if above or below the fold or if the browser tab is not active. The video will be sound-off as default and sounds can be turned on from the widget. The video can also be expanded to the full screen. The video supports two CTA’s, one below the video and one once the video has played, but this ad format should not be expected to create a lot of clicks. The primary result is video views, which means that video played at least for 20 seconds. The ideal duration of the video is 21.5-5 3 minutes and relevancy of content for the B2B audience should be prioritized over production value. View a demo of the ad format.
