Notes de l'éditeur
- This presentation covers a brief overview of a few different types of Digital Display and Digital Video ads. It’s important to remember that digital media is constantly evolving and new trends are emerging all of the time. This is a snapshot of the current popular formats as of October 2012.
- This example of Yahoo’s homepage highlights a few ways that digital ads are displayed in an online environment. AT&T presents a standard Flash ad in a rectangle format in a prominent page position above-the-fold. Below, State Farm and Booking.com have less prominent, smaller ads on the Yahoo Homepage. Above-the-fold means that the ad is visible upon page load – without any scrolling needed by the user. This placement is more valuable than ads that are placed below-the-fold.
- A simple image can be used for a digital ad. The very first digital ads were, in fact, simple images in gif or jpeg formats. Flash ads are animated units that do not expand upon interaction. Flash ads typically animate for fifteen seconds, and include an call to action such as, “Click here to learn more.”Rich media ads offer more user engagement, such as interaction, expansion, longer animation times, data collection, a game, or video content. These types of ads are more expensive to develop and serve, however garner more user engagement.

- There are three standard banner sizes. The IAB, or Interactive Advertising Bureau, sets the standard for what types of ads publishers should offer, and the specifications on how advertisers should build the ads.
- In-text ads expand when a user scrolls over or clicks one of the select keyword terms. In this example, Hellmanns has selected the term “potato salad” to serve as a text link to the Hellmannsad.The advertiser develops a keyword list, then ads appear on various pages across the web that include those same keywords in a contextually-relevant environment.
- There are several ways to use a video within a digital ad.In-Stream Video is played within a video player. Examples are pre-roll video, post-roll video, or page takeovers. Generally, preroll is not-skippable and plays before a users views video content. Preroll video is very prevalent on YouTube. In-Banner Video is displayed in banners. Best practices call for in-banner video to be user-initiated, meaning a user has to roll over or click to watch instead of the video automatically playing upon a page load. In-Text Video is generally user-initiated and triggered by relevant highlighted words within content. Similar to the Hellmanns ad on the previous slide.

- Here is an example of a Video Player Overlay. Within a video, a transparent overlay rises from the bottom of the video player screen. In this example, a rectangle companion unit accompanies the video, increasing the impact.
- Video players can also be skinned, such as in this example for Hot Pockets Snackers. The purpose of the skin is to increase the visibility of unit, and provide more brand impact.
- Coming back to Preroll and Post roll video, here is an example of a preroll unit along with a 300x250 companion unit, which serves to increase the video’s impact and convey the call-to-action. In this case, the call to action is to “find out more at www.ovaltineusa.com.”
- Interactive preroll video allows the viewer to engage with the video unit, combining rich media functionality with video. Upon interaction, the video pauses and an interactive overlay appears. The overlay could include links, more info about the product, a game, a store finder, or a data collection field such as an email address.
