Description

The storytelling format combines a pre-roll and a post-roll placement, so that the advertising message is stretched across two placements within a stream. This allows the format to tell a brand or product story within a podcast episode. The ad slots are firmly linked to each other and the ads are always distributed within a stream and within a fixed sequence.


Compatible Products:

The Native Storytelling Ad can only be used for fixed (storytelling) placements of specific individual podcast episodes. The design of the spot can be implemented as a 3D audio or dialogue ad.

Conditions
