Despite the steady rise in display ad spending in Europe, outpacing numerous other channels, the industry continually strives for innovation. While Rich Media was introduced as an answer to the static creative’s limitations, Aryel’s Ads Manager is taking a quantum leap forward.
Drawing parallels to Renaissance artists, who introduced perspective to transcend the 2D constraints, Aryel is employing Augmented Reality (AR) to redefine the very ethos of traditional Display Advertising. “No longer is the audience a mere spectator. They’re now participants, captivated and immersed in a narrative uniquely tailored for them,” comments Mattia Salvi, CEO of Aryel.
But there’s more to this narrative than meets the eye. Aryel adopts a media-agnostic approach for distribution, thus allowing the relevant Ad Tags of the creatives to be exported and then managed independently both in reservations through platforms such as Teads, Locala, and RCS Cairo Media, and in programmatic on major DSPs such as Google Display & Video 360 and Adform. The first Immersive Rich Media campaigns deployed, for the likes of Prada, Valentino, Tods, and Inter, showed a significant increase in performance over traditional advertising formats, with an average interaction rate of 20 percent, average time spent on ad experiences exceeding 30 seconds, and a 25-fold increase in click-through rates.
The Fashion industry was among the first to exploit the potential of these creatives, but now many clients in FMCG, Food, Finance, Automotive, Pharmaceutical, and Healthcare are also beginning to implement this format within their media planning.
The game-changer? These captivating experiences come to life directly within the banner ads, avoiding traditional external clicks.
This means users no longer need to navigate away, ensuring publishers retain their precious traffic while capitalizing on experiential ads that captivate audiences. For advertisers, this translates to near-zero-click Ad experiences, streamlining user journeys and enhancing engagement.
“We’re talking about next-level Ad Creative Solutions,” says Mattia Salvi. “Imagine the allure of Virtual Try-Ons, the tangibility of 3D Product Visualizations, and the sheer fun of AR Game & Quiz ads – all within the banner itself. It’s a win-win, for both publishers and advertisers.”
In an age where consumer touch points hold paramount significance, Aryel’s Ads Manager is more than just a tool. It’s the future of Display Advertising, today.
