Rich Media Ad
• Based on Flash or HTML5
• Possibilities for consumer engagement are
significantly higher than standard display ads

on smart phones and tablets, adapting to the
different screen sizes for different capabilities

Tablet “Tabvertising”
• Tablet ownership is growing
significantly,1 in 5 adults owns a tablet or
eReader, and that number is growing fast.
• Tablets are still classified as a “lean
back” technology, whereas smart phones
are classified as “lean forward.” This is
becoming less and less true as tablets
begin to replace traditional computers.
• Tablets have different and more
expansive capabilities than smart phones,
but advertisers are still trying to figure out
how to use these.
