The Power of Native Advertisements

Users are generally more likely to engage with content that’s relevant to them at that moment.  ShareThrough published a report showing:

  • Native ads are 53% more frequently looked at by consumers than display ads.
  • 32% of the respondents even went ahead to say that they would share these ads with friends and family. Although only 19 percent would share traditional ads.

An outcome of native advertising is higher engagement  with viewers, which can help you with objectives such as branding, in-feed ads, or performance with search or app downloads formats, for example.
