Clickz reported yesterday that the Online Publishers Association is hoping to promote creativity in digital advertising with a number of new ad formats.
Among the new sizes being launched are:
- The ‘fixed panel’ – a 336 x 860 panel that looks embedded into the page and scrolls to the top and bottom of the page as the user scrolls.
- The ‘XXL Box’ – a468 x 648 and allows users to actually turn pages over and watch video.
- The “pushdown” – a 970 x 428 which opens to display a nearly full-page ad and then rolls up to the top of the page.
Each unit will also feature a button to allow users to e-mail the ads to others – an interesting new feature that could allow the creative to go viral.
Only time will tell whether or not this is a last ditch effort by the OPA to resurrect display advertising and re-engage consumers in the face of declining response rates.
