This webinar covered native advertising opportunities on various online platforms like social media sites, search engines, and publishers' sites.
It began with introductions of the speakers and their backgrounds. It then defined what native ads are and explained how they differ from traditional display ads by blending into the design and content of the platform.
Various examples of native ad formats on social media sites and "biddable media" were shown, including promoted tweets, sponsored updates, and sponsored content. Pros and cons of native ads for advertisers and agencies were discussed. The webinar also covered tracking conversions, scaling management of native campaigns, and an upcoming webinar focused on native ads.

4. NATIVE ADS: What is it?

integrated with the
content of a publisher or
social media platform in
such a way that the ads
blend in with the rest of
the content. The ads are
part of the content.‖
