See how can you appear with ads on different ad formats

Native

Ads that don't feel like ads.

Native ads match the look and feel of the platform they appear on. No banners, no borders - just content that flows naturally into the user's experience. Higher engagement. Lower friction.

Whether it's in-feed, in-article, or recommended content widgets - native is one of the best-performing formats for brands that want to build trust while driving action.

In-feed and in-article native placements

Responsive assets (headline, image, description)

Runs across premium publishers via DV360 and Adform

Works alongside display retargeting

Best for: Content-led strategies in financial services, healthcare, B2B, and other categories where audience trust influences conversion

Display

The classic that still converts.

Display remains the most widely used programmatic format. Banner ads in static, animated, or HTML5 formats appear across news sites, content publishers, apps, and the open web. The format scales efficiently and supports both awareness and performance objectives.

Through DV360, Amazon DSP, and Adform, display campaigns run on premium inventory with audience-level targeting by behavior, demographics, and intent. Brand safety controls and viewability standards filter out low-quality placements, so every impression reaches a verified, relevant viewer.

Video

Tell your story. Everywhere.

Video generates the highest engagement rates of any digital ad format. Programmatic video buying places your creative across YouTube, connected TV apps, streaming platforms, and thousands of publisher sites from a single campaign setup.
Campaigns run through DV360 (with direct YouTube inventory access), Amazon DSP, and Adform. This combination provides reach across the largest video inventory pools on the internet, from user-generated content to premium broadcast-quality streaming.

Connected TV / OTT

YouTube via DV360 Skippable and non-skippable formats

Best for: Brand storytelling, product demos, awareness at scale, CTV campaigns

Audio

Reach people when screens are off.

Audio advertising reaches listeners in moments that visual formats cannot access: commutes, workouts, cooking, running. These screen-free contexts produce high completion rates because listeners do not skip or scroll past audio ads the way they do with display and video placements.

Through DV360 and Adform, programmatic audio campaigns run across Spotify, podcast networks, music streaming apps, and digital radio. Targeting works at the listener level, using demographics, content genre, listening context, and behavioral data to match your message to the right audience.

Spotify via programmatic (through DV360 / Adform)

Podcast network placements

Best for: Consumer brands, retail, entertainment, hospitality, lifestyle

Conversational

Start a conversation. Not just an impression.

Conversational ads go beyond passive viewing. They pull the user in with a question, a poll, a prompt - and guide them toward action. It's advertising that feels more like a dialogue.

The format performs strongest in lead generation, product comparison, and high-consideration purchase cycles. When a buying decision requires more information than a banner provides, conversational units bridge that gap within the ad experience itself.

Interactive rich media units

Expandable ad formats

Poll and quiz-based creatives

Supported through Adform's rich media suite

Best for: Finance, insurance, automotive, B2B, any product with a longer decision cycle

In-App

Mobile users. Real inventory.

In-app advertising puts your brand in front of users while they're gaming, browsing, or using their favorite tools. It's premium mobile inventory — with no cookie dependence, since apps rely on device IDs for targeting.

Amazon DSP and DV360 provide access to high-quality in-app inventory across the largest mobile app exchanges. Viewability rates in app environments consistently exceed mobile web benchmarks, and full-screen formats generate stronger recall and completion metrics.
