What is video advertising?

Video ads offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional TV advertising. They offer a unique opportunity to captures diverse, tech-savvy audiences. These ads run before, during, or after a video stream on the internet, and are a crucial component of any broad marketing strategy.

Primary video ad types

In-stream

In-stream video ads can be served before (pre-roll), during (mid-roll), or after (post-roll) streaming video content requested on demand by the user. Usually, video ads tend to be contextual and resonate with the interest of the viewer of specific video content.

Out-stream

Out-stream video ads can be inserted within content (such as articles), as native, in-feed, or interstitial ads. They are usually auto-play and begin muted. The user has the option to turn the volume on and expand the ad.

Interstital
