Creative Possibilities of Floating Ads

Floating with Reminder – When the Floating ad is finished playing, it leaves behind a smaller Floating ad. Viewers can replay the ad, interact or click-through, even after the initial ad has played.

Floating with In-Page – When a Floating ad morphs into an In-Page ad unit rather than disappearing.

Floating with Expanding – When a Floating ad morphs into an Expanding ad unit rather than disappearing.

Locked Floating – The Floating ad “locks” into place on the page and will not move as the user scrolls through content. This ensures the advertiser’s message is displayed, no matter where the user’s engagment on the page rests.
