Banner Advertising

Banner advertising covers image or animated ads that appear on websites in standardised formats. It is one of the oldest online ad types and today usually runs programmatically through ad networks and auction platforms. The goals are reach, recognition or a direct click.

Common formats

Common units include medium rectangle, skyscraper, leaderboard, half page ad and mobile sticky ads. There are also special formats such as wallpaper, interstitials and rich media with video and interaction. A clear message, a readable call to action and a format that fits the host page matter most.

What drives success

Success depends not only on reach but on viewability, placement, creative, frequency and audience selection. Serving the same banner too often to the same user causes fatigue. Sensible frequency capping, several creatives and A B tests keep impact stable.
