LogoutNative advertising is paid media designed to match the content of a media source. An example of mobile native advertising would be paid video content on the Youtube app. This media is designed to match the visual design and function of natural content, appearing in your feed of recommended videos.
What is it? Native ads are digital ads that mimic the content on the site where it is found. Native ads have been controversial because they are easily mistaken for the site’s content which has been considered misleading to site readers. However, the similarity in design creates a less disruptive ad experience. So make sure sponsored content is clearly labeled as such for transparency.
Tactic: Research what types of sites your target advertisers visit and partner with their ad sales team to create content that will reach your audience. Here are some examples:
- An in-feed ad: The website’s ad sales team will design an editorial ad matching their tone and style but promoting your association’s ad sales options.
- Purchase search ads on search engines or social networks popular with your prospective advertiser, the ad can be found when a keyword you designate is searched.
- Use a custom ad which can vary from a video, list post, or homepage takeover depending on what site you choose to advertise with.
Benefit: The click through rates on native advertising have been found to be considerably higher than traditional digital advertising methods. They also generate an 82% lift in metrics such as awareness and purchase intent among users.

Native advertising is the use of paid ads that match the look, feel and function of the media format in which they appear.
Native ads are often found in social media feeds, or as recommended content on a web page. Unlike display ads or banner ads, native ads don’t really look like ads. They look like part of the editorial flow of the page. The key to native advertising is that it is non-disruptive - it exposes the reader to advertising content without sticking out like a sore thumb.
Native advertising offers the opportunity to connect with users in a format of the user’s choosing. Native advertising can also be less intrusive than traditional ad formats such as banner ads. In addition to this, the ad’s contextual relevance means that native advertising can produce high Click-Through Rate (CTR) and boost conversions.

These types of ads provide a great opportunity for creative exposure, and advertisers can be sure that users already enjoy the format in which the ad will be presented. Recommendation widgets and in-feed commerce are popular native advertising options, but advertisers can also use the method to distribute creative, customized in-app content.
Native Advertising also presents several challenges, particularly because these ads require a ‘native’ understanding of the platform. The more advertisers can learn about a platform, the better their native advertising is likely to be. However, the benefits outweigh the complexities of these challenges. By tailoring advertising for a platform’s forms and functions, there is an opportunity to expose users to unique content that is particularly engaging to your target audience.
Native advertising also often outperforms traditional ads. Studies have shown that even though users are aware the content was paid for, native advertising gets higher engagement than traditional advertising methods. This could be because the content can be consumed in a way that is natural and intuitive to a user’s regular media consumption.
