Creative technology platform Bonzai has announced the launch of BrandStory – a new premium mobile ad format.
BrandStory offers triple the ad space and 2.8 times greater time in view than single scroll ad formats, addressing the surging demand from brands worldwide for more real estate to drive real results by seamlessly intertwining awareness, exploration and action within one comprehensive solution.
As smartphone users worldwide reach an estimated 4.6 billion, with expectations of surpassing 5.1 billion by 2028, mobile internet traffic already claims nearly 60 per cent of total web traffic. In response to this unprecedented growth, Bonzai recognised the need for a more expansive, premium mobile ad format that would not only extend the in-ad experience via a seamless, scrolling user experience; it would also drive brand awareness and communicate additional product information in an unobtrusive, impactful way.
After years of insight, BrandStory was brought to life. Bonzai’s new, easy-to-build, no-code solution, which is set to be launched across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia, requires no integration for existing customers and features an array of benefits for both advertisers and publishers:
