Native Advertising is a paid media ad where the ad experience matches the look, feel, and function of the content surrounding it. Native ads blend seamlessly into the platform’s environment, which makes them more engaging for users.

Types of Native Advertising

• In-Feed Ads: Appear within social media or news feeds, blending seamlessly with organic content (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).
• Sponsored Content: These include branded articles or videos published on editorial websites to inform or entertain.
• Recommendation Widgets: Appear as “You may also like” or “Recommended for you” boxes on websites.
• Promoted Listings: These ads are common on e-commerce platforms; they are sponsored products that match user searches.
• Search Ads:  These are the paid ads, like organic search results, typically found at the top of Google or search results.
• Custom Content: This is the tailored content that resonates with the audience. Collaborate with publishers to engage audiences in a brand-relevant story.
