The reveal ad deploys on every user’s visit to our websites. The full screen-width ad expands to “reveal” the advertising message.
Geofencing and mobile advertising is placing highly targeted ads on mobile devices.

A blend of traditional geofencing and addressable geofencing. Using a larger database of information, we will curate a list of homes and businesses in real time based on geographic and demographic data.

Video ads on Facebook receive about 2x the number of clicks, 5x the amount of screen time and give advertisers additional screen time to really show off a brand and tell a story compared to static ads.
Facebook video ads are paid ads that feature a video and appear in the user’s Facebook feed, Marketplace, Stories, and Video Feed. These videos are targeted in the same way that static ads are, directed at users based on demographic, geographic, and interest data points. Over time, the target audience is optimized and retargeted for maximum exposure.

Video ads are an excellent medium for reaching users via desktops and mobile devices on browsers and apps. These ads occur before, during and/or after a video stream on the internet.
