“Native” to the user experience

Non disruptive content within the stream or feed

Paid placement – and denoted as such (“sponsored”,

etc)

Branded: Related to or somehow incorporating the

brand

Content: Beyond a simple ad, it could be:

A blog post

An image slideshow

A video

A tweet or status update

An image

The Elements of a Native Ad

Be helpful

Be interesting!

Be engaging: Would a user share this?

Be exciting, quirky, entertaining, or crazy

Use good quality images

Fit in with the brand’s tone and value proposition

Integrate with a full digital campaign, including

landing pages, an email campaign, and product

offering.

Mark the ad as sponsored

Why Use Native Ads?

Page 22: BFM Native Advertising Webinar

#1: User Experience

Page 23: BFM Native Advertising Webinar

Why Use Native Ads?

Create a better, non-disruptive user experience

Focus on branding, rather than a conversion

Display ads are being screened out by more savvy

customers

Publishers want to create a more quality experience for

customers, while still driving revenue.

Page 25: BFM Native Advertising Webinar

Paid, Earned and Owned:

Page 26: BFM Native Advertising Webinar

We Know It’s Getting Serious, Because…Facebook recently slimmed down their ad offerings

Google’s “Doubleclick for Publishers” announced they will

support individual native ad products

Buzzfeed is training agencies in native content creation

The IAB has created a Native Advertising Task Force

Spend on Native Ads are projected to move from $2.36b in

2013 ($1.63b in 2012) to $4.57 billion by 2017

User Experience = User Integrity

Page 28: BFM Native Advertising Webinar

Concerns and challenges….

• Is it scaleable?

• Timeliness and creativity is key.

• Risk of oversaturation.

• Requires ad standards and ad platforms

• Will users pay attention to them, and convert?

Page 29: BFM Native Advertising Webinar

But it’s also very exciting…

• People aren’t on TV or looking in the phone book anymore

• Banner ads aren’t likely to work

• As mobile users increase, the opportunity is huge

• More value for customers and brands:

• Customers: Less Interruptive

• Brands: More engaging and interactive

How Is It Implemented?

Pricing

Buzzfeed’s average campaigns start at $100k, with 5-10 posts. Ads are sold in “story units”.

Operates similar to direct ad buys, with major networks

Prices include Content Creation (Agency and Publisher) and a CPM

Other networks including ShareThrough and Nativo operate similar to standard display networks

Outbrain and Taboola are excellent self-service platforms that are competitively priced and

enable content sharing.

Will This Work For My Brand?

Are you already creating content?

Are you already promoting your business with paid ads, for example:

Google AdWords, or another form of pay-per-click search engine marketing

Promoted listings in newspapers or industry websites

Display advertising or remarketing

You’re already promoting content on social networks, and paying for it:

Facebook Sponsored Stories

Twitter Promoted Accounts

Native Ads are the next level:

They are a display ad that is native to the user experience,

and therefore more likely to capture user attention.

Page 33: BFM Native Advertising Webinar

How Can I Use It In My Business?

1. Create branded, shareable, clickable content, that has the ability to serve as an ad unit:

1. Videos

2. Branded imagery

3. How-To or Lifehack articles

4. Blog posts

5. Slideshows

6. Videos

2. Shift advertising spend to promote content, rather than ads, across channels, including:

1. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr or other social networks

2. Content “suggestion” plug-ins, such as Outbrain or Taboola

3. Relevant websites to your target audience who accept sponsored posts
