What is Display
Advertising

Display advertising consists of banner ads, either static text and images, or interactive with rich media elements. The more creative the ad, the more memorable and longer lasting it is, which will help build awareness with your target audience. The one thing display ads all have in common is a clear call to action to click and explore your brands' products or services online.

Why Display Advertising

Display ads use a combination of text, images, and a call to action to grab consumer attention. Display ads can be highly engaging when they use rich media assets, such as images, video, audio, or animation to make them interactive and memorable.

Adding creative display ads into your media mix effectively can set you apart from the competition. StackAdapt's platform makes this easy! We support HTML5 and 3rd-party tags from all major ad servers at no additional cost.
