Interstitial

Digital Display•Hero Suite

Increase brand recall with our full-screen Interstitial format. Able to serve images and videos, the Interstitial is optimised for maximum visibility, taking over the full screen before auto-closing after 15 secs. There is a close and unmute button, with video always starting muted. Frequency capped to x1 ad, per user, per hour, the Interstitial is available on all pages except audio playback, video playback and live pages.
