Display advertising refers to visual ads that appear on the websites and apps people use every day, from news sites and blogs to weather apps and mobile games. Because display leverages digital audience data and programmatic ad placements, you're able to precisely choose the audiences you want to reach and accurately track how your campaign performs.

Display advertising works best as part of a broader digital marketing strategy spanning multiple digital channels, including streaming audio, connected TV, digital out-of-home, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is display advertising?

Display advertising refers to visual ads that run on websites and apps.

Is display advertising still effective?

Yes, and the version many marketers remember is out of date. Modern display is bought against audience data rather than site lists, creative adapts to the person seeing it, and performance is measured against conversions rather than views. That combination makes display one of the most accountable formats in a media plan.

How is display advertising targeted?

Display campaigns are targeted by location and by audience attributes like interests, online behavior, and purchase intent. They can also be matched to the content someone is reading, and narrowed to people who have already visited your site.

How does display advertising fit into a full-funnel media strategy?

Display is the layer a buyer can act on immediately. Running it against the same audience definition as the rest of your campaign means the person who encountered your brand elsewhere meets it again in a place where a click, a form, or a purchase is one step away.

Does Strategus run media channels beyond display?

Yes. Strategus manages full programmatic campaigns across connected TV, over-the-top, online video, display, streaming audio, digital out-of-home, and in-game placements. Most clients run several of these channels together as one coordinated plan.

Where do display ads run?

Display ads run across news sites, blogs, weather and sports apps, mobile games, and the wider web your audience browses through the day. Placement is driven by who you want to reach, so the same campaign follows your audience across the sites and apps they use.
