Video Native Ad
The Video Native Ad combines high-quality moving images with a native display in the editorial environment. It has a particularly organic effect, as the video appears embedded like regular content and adapts seamlessly to various layouts. Thanks to supplementary text and image elements (fallback image), the advertising message remains visible even when the video ends or is not played.
