InText Spot

The InText Spot stands for an impressive appearance due to its size and optimal placement in the user's direct field of vision. The format appears only when the user scrolls down within the text. In addition, the commercial only runs with a visibility of at least 50 %. InPage formates are ideal for extending pre-roll campaigns.

  • Format: dynamic to content width
  • Sound: The ad starts without sound, can be switched on upon user interaction..
  • Reporting: The AdServer Reporting from the InText commercial has the same KPIs (Video Impressions, Clicks, Viewrate) as the PreRoll Ad
