Experiences refined for people
Marketing and advertising are all about cutting through the proverbial noise. Whether it's the email noise of an inbox that is comprised of 80% spam, or pages upon pages of content with several ads each, marketing these days has a lot more to do with getting your brand noticed.
Figures for 2021 and 2022 point to a single person seeing up to 10k ads daily, yet most of us will struggle to remember a single one we experienced that day. Want to stand out? You have to find innovative ways to ensure everyday ads make an impact. This need for a little 'wow' led to the creation of our High Impact Video ads, also known as interactive video ads, as interactivity is the secret sauce to turning passive scrollers into accountable customers.

📍 What are interactive video ads?
Interactive video ads are video advertisements that allow users to interact with the ad through several components. In contrast to traditional video ads, the creative for these advertisements enables users to interact with the content through ad product scrolls, maps, form fills, and more.
📍What are interactive display video ads?
Interactive display video ads allow users to interact with an ad while the video plays. This often includes maps, product carousels, and more. Often showcased on relevant publishers, blogs, and websites, these advertisements allow for an eye-catching, interactive ad experience far more engaging than traditional static banners or graphic ads.
It's no secret that video is an incredible storytelling tool. Interactive video brings things to a new level, especially with ad fatigue and a crowded digital landscape at play. These creative assets allow for:
💬 Old Creative on New Platforms 💬
“High-impact content and engaging experiences do not always have to be synonymous with a larger-than-life price tag or a reinventing of the wheel. Brands often sit on top of a wealth of already-produced long-form content such as webinars, white papers, interviews, and marketing assets that are begging to be revitalized. There is a massive opportunity to clip and reformat the top-performing bits and pieces of these assets for new channels, platforms, and experiences. Ultimately increasing the content’s reach, longevity, and engagement.”
-Eric Lee, Co-Founder & Managing Partner, KORTX
33% of marketers do not utilize interactive video due to budget constraints (source). Production is expensive. We get it. But instead of maximizing your creative budget to create compelling interactive video ads, why not use what you already have? Chances are, you already have a video file from your latest campaign on hand and it probably took a long time to create. You may have spent a lot of effort working with multiple teams to develop the script, hire the production crew and make the edits. Turns out it was a fantastic video and you want to re-use it.
You probably also have creative from previous display campaigns that include layered files, logos, brand colors, and a layout that was already approved. With interactive video ads, you don’t have to recreate the wheel. In fact, you can showcase these assets in a new context with the ability to pair them with specific products, locations, or offers.
This simple example showcases combining existing assets to create new interactive video assets.
Note: These example mock-ups are created via publicly available assets from brands and are not an example of a live campaign.
