Why Native Advertising
Native ads are consumed in the same way people view editorial content. This could attribute to consumers looking at native ads 53% more frequently than display ads. Native ads tend to register higher lift in purchase intent at 18% and brand affinity at 9%, when compared to display ads.
In fact, consumers spend almost as long looking at native ads as they do looking at original editorial content.
Native Advertising Formats That Work
Get started with native advertising formats that get proven results.
Pioneered by social platforms, in-feed native advertising is the most common form of native ad. It includes promoted listings and paid results.
Using elements of a native ad (image, headline, body, and logo), in-ad native ads are placed within the display inventory to help with reach.
Discovery widgets are typically found at the bottom of an article. They can reach a broad audience in a cost-effective manner through content recommendations.

StackAdapt Resources
Native advertising is a form of advertising that seamlessly merges high-quality content into a given platform's organic experience. Native ads conform to the design and feel of the sites on which they display. This preservation of the immersive user experience helps maintain click-through rates similar to the rates seen with editorial content.
Native Defined
Location: Placed within content.
Design: Formatted like content.
Relevancy: Aligned with content or target audience.
Disclosure: Marked as being sponsored.
At StackAdapt, we take a different approach than other native advertising platforms. Currently, "native advertising" tends to be an overused buzzword applied to anything that isn't a banner ad. We're redefining it as something scalable and superior—it's the intersection of customized native content delivery and the power of programmatic technology.
Programmatic native advertising serves each ad unit on an impression-by-impression level. It leverages real-time data and decision-making to ensure the most relevant ad is placed on each site, creating a unique user experience.
Study after study has shown why native advertising is more effective than traditional digital marketing methods. There is actual scientific evidence behind why native ads work. Unlike display ads, native ads require the use of both hemispheres of the brain. People are actually reading native ads because they become part of the experience of consuming relevant content. This results in stronger engagement, recall, and influence.
Native ads are so powerful and effective because they capture the attention of users. In addition to the impact native ads have on key performance indicators (KPIs) like attention quality and interaction rate, the Content Marketing Institute polled industry leaders to get their take on native advertising. Take a look at the compelling insights gained from surveying these marketing experts:
- 53% say it is extremely or very effective.
- 90% agree that it can be used to build audiences.
- 88% agree that it can be used to drive an action.
- 85% agree that it offers valuable content to the reader and can be used to promote content marketing efforts.
Native advertising has seen heavy sustained growth since its inception. In 2023, EMARKETER forecasted that US advertisers would spend $97.46 billion on native display advertising.
