Standard Display Ad Units

Standard display formats are digital ads that are built in universal sizes, allowing them to run across almost all websites.

The most common type of digital advertising as well as one of the most versatile, standard display ads can be used for a wide range of marketing objectives from building awareness to driving action.

Standard display formats include three sizes (Leaderboard, MREC and Mobile Banner), to ensure ads run across both desktop and mobile devices.
