Ninemsn introduces new ad format
Ninemsn has launched a new ad format called the Slider.
The announcement:
20 February 2012, Australia: In another Australian media first, ninemsn today launched a new high-impact ad format, the Slider. The IAB Rising Stars award-winning format[1] is a high-visibility ad unit that gives advertisers a multi-media story-telling opportunity.
With a homepage medium rectangle placement, the Slider features a consumer call to action, which, once clicked, ‘slides’ the browser to the right, revealing a full-page execution with rich media functionality. The experience remains open until the user elects to close the page, at which point they are returned to the homepage.
The Slider also features a secondary call to action anchored at the bottom of the homepage. The leave behind creative at the base of the homepage browser along with the medium rectangle provides a strong brand presence before the Slider has been activated.
Already embraced internationally by entertainment advertisers, the Slider offers a dynamic solution ideal for other verticals such as automotive and technology.
“The Slider is an award-winning ad format and we’re excited to be the first to offer our partners this opportunity,” said Richard McLaren, ninemsn’s Chief Innovation Officer.
“We know that dynamic digital formats are incredibly effective for advertisers who are constantly looking for new ways to utilise video and animation to tell stories more effectively. ninemsn prides itself on continuously innovating and being first-to-market with engaging new formats.”
A demo of the Slider can be viewed in the Creative Showcase.
