Google Display Network series: Your toolbox for creative display ads
Thursday, July 29, 2010
In
last week’s post
of our Google Display Network series, we showed how
DoubleClick Ad Planner
can help you effectively plan your display ad campaigns and reach the right audience. Today we’ll talk about creating compelling display ads and the options available on the
Google Display Network
(GDN). Let’s look at each category of options you have today:
Great impact through rich media and video.
Rich media and video formats engage users at a whole new level, drawing them in and encouraging interactivity in a way not possible with other ad formats.
Example of a great rich media ad run by Volvo and the agencies Euro RSCG New York and Media Contacts:

DoubleClick Rich Media and Video
solutions:

rich media formats
, based on your campaign objective.

approved vendors

Build display ads in minutes.
Creating display ads can be resource-intensive, and for many marketers, it may not be in the budget. So we introduced
Display Ad Builder
in 2008, a free tool for creating professional-looking display ads in minutes. Here’s what you can do with Display Ad Builder:
Create
image
, video (
InVideo
,
Click-To-Play
), Flash and rich media (including expandable) ads using hundreds of fully customizable templates or templates tailored for specific industries.
Stay true to your brand with your own images, text, videos and logos.
We automatically convert the ads you design into most
standard IAB ad sizes
.

Display Ad Builder is also great for testing different messages and creative elements, or to get insights for more complex display campaigns managed by your in-house team or agency.
Stand out by blending in.
Text ads
are a versatile ad format that are easy to create and edit, in minutes. They’re especially effective as an extension of your existing search campaigns. Simply
opt
your search campaign into the GDN and your ads will show to users as they surf relevant web pages via our
contextual targeting technology
. Text ads also complement display campaigns by engaging users who ignore display ads (i.e.
banner blindness
). Further, they give your campaign wider reach since not every publisher may accept display ads, or may only accept a limited number of display ad formats and sizes on their site.

Whether your goal is to drive awareness, or to generate immediate sales,
learn how
the robust creative toolbox available on the Google Display Network can help. We’ll see you next week when we talk about how you can reach your audience with the targeting technologies available on the GDN.
