Read Blog Now: Exploring Video Ad Alternatives
In August 2022, IAB Tech Lab released updated Ad Format Guidelines for Digital Video and Connected TV (CTV) to enhance transparency and standardization in video advertising. The idea behind the guidelines was to introduce clear distinctions about what is in-stream video and what isn’t. Previously, due to loopholes in the previous definition, there were many … Continued

Last year, IAB conducted a survey revealing the value that consumers place on the free and open internet and their appreciation for the role that data and personalized advertising play in sustaining it.

It’s Time for the Ad Industry to Ditch Fixed-Size Ads
The advertising industry has long struggled with inconsistent creative ad specifications. Every publisher and platform has its own requirements, forcing brands and agencies to create multiple versions of the same ad—often for nearly identical sizes, like 300×250 vs. 300×300. If you’ve worked in ad operations, you know this pain well. How many ads get rejected … Continued

Gaming is no longer a niche hobby – it’s a cultural force with a massive, dedicated audience.
