In-Banner Video display ads

In July 2014, Daniel Yomtobian announced Advertise.com’s latest display product: In-Banner Video ads — high-quality video playing inside the frame of a traditional banner unit.

With delivery similar to Flash or HTML5 banners, In-Banner Videos retain standard Internet Advertising Bureau ad specs but play on all devices — desktop, tablet and mobile.

“Despite the success of pre-roll video advertising, many brands are continuing to use low-grade banner ads for their display advertising strategy. We decided it was time to make online display ads more engaging — so they would perform better in the competitive advertising space.” Daniel Yomtobian, Founder and CEO, Advertise.com
