Banner Ads

Banner advertising has come a long way since the first banner ad that was launched in October 27 in 1994 on Wired Magazine (then it was called hotwired.com). The banner advertising world has developed from the web banner ads you see your on your favorite publications, to social media ads like Facebook Banners, Instagram Sponsored Ads, Snapchat Geofilters and other social media ads.

What is a Banner Ad?

A banner ad, or a web banner, entails embedding an advertisement into a webpage. The ad  consists of an image (.jpg, .png, .gif) or of a multimedia object (Flash or HTML5). Therefore, a banner ad can be static or animated.

Static Banner Ad: a simple image or visual that acts as the ad, but in the digital world you can click on the ad and it will take you to the website or landing page of the advertisement.

Animated Banner Ad: A programmatically generated display or sequential visual that creates the illusion that objects in the image are moving. It serves the same purpose as a static banner ad, to get noticed and make the user click on it.
