Brand Connect Feature: With the huge rafting of digitally active, continuously growing generation, the present-day dynamic is actually what is moving programmatic native advertising from being a niche to becoming mainline.
Digital advertising these days has become so prevalent that people are becoming blind to it. The phenomenon – known as “banner blindness” – causes people to overlook ads when they’re presented in an obvious or overbearing way. To fight banner blindness, marketers these days are opting for the relevancy factor in their brand communication.
Native advertising is one such solution. Ads that blend into content so they don’t appear like ads, have been growing in popularity over the years. With the huge rafting of digitally active, continuously growing generation, the present-day dynamic is actually what moving programmatic native advertising from being a niche to becoming mainline.
With 35% growth between 2017 and 2018 itself, native advertising has been the fastest-growing advertising segment. In fact, native ads have proven to receive 53% more views than traditional display ads and increase the purchase intent by 18%. But that’s possible only when you have a robust native advertising strategy.
However, Native Ads are only successful when marketers choose the right placement for them. This doesn’t just mean shortlisting and approaching all the ad networks and publishers that ‘seem’ to have the target audience you want to reach out to. Rather marketers have to spend some time digging up their actual demographic to understand the potential success on their platform. For instance, Colombia, the platform that is one of the largest publisher-owned ad networks in APAC, serving 500 million impressions per day. But to help marketers run successful native ads, it also enables them to distinguish audience buckets based on their interests and passions.
