How do the Interactive Advertising Bureau's new standard ad unit portfolio and guidelines released in July 2017 differ from its earlier guidelines for display ads.

What will be an ideal response?


For many years, IAB categorized display ads based on fixed pixel sizes, such as a medium rectangle (300 x 250 pixels), large rectangle (336 x 280 pixels), leaderboard (728 x 90 pixels), and half-page (300 x 600 pixels) (the top performing sizes, according to Google). However, in July 2017, the IAB released the final version of its new standard ad unit portfolio, based on aspect ratio and size range, rather than fixed pixel size, allowing for flexible sizing and delivery of a more consistent ad experience across multiple screen sizes and devices. Ad types are now identified as horizontal (typically placed at the top or bottom of the screen), vertical (typically placed on the right or left edge of the screen), tiles (typically placed in a grid layout), or full page (which cover the full screen of the device in either a portrait or landscape layout). The guidelines are based on HTML5 technology and cover all types of display ads, as well as new ad experiences such as augmented reality, virtual reality, 360-degree ads, and emoji ads, among others. Another important aspect of the new guidelines is their incorporation of LEAN principles. LEAN is an acronym that stands for lightweight, encrypted, AdChoices-supported, and non-invasive advertising. In an attempt to enhance consumer acceptance of advertising, the standard contains guidelines with respect to animations, ad expansions, close buttons, user initiation, interstitials (ads that appear before, in-between, or after the primary content), video and auto-play video and audio. LEAN also includes a list of disruptive ad experiences that are no longer permitted, such as pop-up ads (ads that overlay or cover the content after the user has started viewing the content), auto expansion (ads that expand without user initiation), auto-play video with audio, and flashing animations.
