Native Advertising on the Rise

Viewers are tired of advertisements getting in the way of their online experience. Whether it’s a banner at the top of a web page or a 30-second video on the side, viewers don’t want to look at advertisements like this anymore. Native Advertising could be the solution.

Designed according to the content of a website, Native Advertising is meant to be part of a website’s experience. It is much less intrusive than the average banner advertisements and feels more natural to the viewer because it is coherent with the other media on the web page.

Native Advertising comes in many forms. It can range from a promoted tweet on Twitter to a suggested post on Facebook, or any sponsored content on a web page. The options are endless, and include a considerable variety: promoted videos, images, articles, commentary, music and various other forms of media. According to Sharethrough, 25% more viewers were measured looking at Native Ads rather than banners.

Viewers often don’t even know they’re experiencing Native Advertising because it is so subtle. At the bottom or on the sides of many web pages “other content you might be interested in” often appears; this is yet another form of Native Advertising. Subtle techniques of this form of advertising also include “search advertising,” which are ads that appear alongside search results that are nativeto the search experience.

Soon enough, viewers won’t even be able to tell the difference between advertisements and actual content. With the rise of Native Advertising, producers need not worry about reaching their audiences.
