InSkin Media Launch Revolutionary ‘Edge’ Mobile Ad Format with Tourism New Zealand
Format promotes positive user experience and addresses ad blocking
First campaign achieves 96.5% viewability rate and 48-second average in-view time
Sydney: 14th September 2016: InSkin Media today announced its latest technology format to evolve non-standard digital advertising, the PageSkin Edge smartphone ad format.
Launching with a campaign by Tourism New Zealand, the entirely new approach to mobile display advertising is purpose-built to more effectively monetise mobile web content and overcome ad blocking, while also returning outstanding engagement and viewability figures.
PageSkin Edge marks InSkin Media’s arrival into the smartphone ad format arena, with the company already partnering with top local publishers to deliver impactful, non-intrusive ad formats for desktop and tablet devices. With media from Mindshare and creative from Whybin\TBWA Sydney, the Tourism New Zealand campaign is running on InSkin’s premium publisher network across desktop, tablet and mobile to promote New Zealand’s North Island.
Tourism New Zealand General Manager Australia, Tony Saunders said the campaign for the North Island is aimed at an audience that demands engaging content via interactive digital formats.
“Tourism New Zealand targets independent professionals and active boomers who are looking for unique experiences and we believe this extends to the advertising they engage with. InSkin’s PageSkin Edge format provides outstanding in-view times and viewability scores, while also showcasing a variety of holiday experiences in the North Island”.
Maddy Nash from Mindshare says the strong campaign scores are a heartening sign smartphone ad formats are continuing to mature.
“With a 96.5% viewabillity rate as verified by Moat, and an average in-view time of 48 seconds, Tourism New Zealand’s campaign enjoyed quality engagement and boosted brand dwell-time. Where mobile formats are typically known for low-dwell and higher-click, this InSkin campaign focused more on branding, while still managing a CTR of 1.69%, a figure well above industry benchmarks.”
“Money is pouring into mobile, as the IAB recently announced; mobile is driving online advertising growth and now accounts for nearly $2 billion of the online market,” said Matt Newcomb, InSkin AUNZ GM. “This format addresses the challenges of balancing publisher revenues and user experience; it delivers high dwell times and interaction rates for advertisers, which increase publisher revenue while reflecting the IAB’s L.E.A.N principles, in being lightweight and ‘polite’, giving less reason to block ads and an enhanced mobile experience for the publisher and the reader.”
