Supported ad formats

Publicit supports every major advertising channel. The formats you list determine which advertisers can find you β€” the wider your format coverage, the broader the pool of potential campaigns.


Digital formats

Digital spaces serve online audiences. These formats offer the most detailed performance data and attract the broadest range of digital-first advertisers.

Static or animated image ads placed on your website, app, or digital platform. The most common digital format β€” almost every advertiser has display creatives ready.

Common placements:

  • Homepage header or hero

  • Sidebar (right or left rail)

  • In-article between paragraphs

  • Footer or bottom of page

In-stream video

Video ads that play within your video content. Requires you to host video content where pre-roll or mid-roll placement is possible.

  • Pre-roll β€” plays before the main video begins

  • Mid-roll β€” plays at a natural pause point in longer videos

High-CPM format β€” video inventory consistently commands the highest prices on the platform.

Out-stream video

Video ads that appear within your editorial content without requiring an existing video player. The video plays in an expandable unit that appears between paragraphs as the user scrolls.

Accessible for publishers without a video product β€” allows participation in video advertising demand without significant technical investment.

Native advertising

Ads formatted to match your editorial layout β€” headline, image, and brief description styled to look like content recommendations. Higher engagement than standard display, and perceived as less intrusive by users.

Rich media

Interactive or animated ad units with expandable panels, video, or other engaging elements. Requires defined placement dimensions and often involves coordination with the advertiser on creative production.

Newsletter sponsorship

Sponsored placement within your email newsletter. Reaches a confirmed, opted-in audience who actively chose to receive your content β€” one of the highest-intent formats available.

Strong for publishers with well-established newsletters in finance, technology, professional services, or niche industries.

Podcast advertising

Audio spots within your podcast episodes, with optional companion display ad for podcasts distributed via platforms that support it.

  • Produced spots: pre-recorded audio delivered by you

  • Host-read: presenter delivers the ad live, with agreed talking points

Social media

Sponsored content on your social media channels β€” promoted posts, branded stories, or co-created content distributed to your audience.


Exterior (Out-of-Home)

Physical advertising spaces that reach audiences in public environments. Typically sold on a fixed-price, per-period basis.

  • Roadside billboards β€” large-format structures on main roads and motorways

  • Street furniture β€” panels integrated into bus shelters, kiosks, and benches

  • Transit advertising β€” buses, metro carriages, taxi exteriors

  • Urban panels β€” city-centre pedestrian areas and retail streets

List exterior spaces with precise location, dimensions, and weekly impression estimates based on footfall or traffic measurement.
