What Are Native Video Ads?
Alright, so a Native Ad walks into a bar and sees a Video Adand says “hey there, video; you sure do make quite the impression” and 9 monthslater we have the newest addition to our digital toolbox- Native Video ads!  When we talk about Native ads, we explain that they match the look, feel, and visual context of whatever website or app that they are appearing on, and on any device.
