Adnami High Impact is primarily bought through programmatic channels but how do advertisers deal with the difference in ad unit sizes between publishers?
This dynamic causes challenges for both buyers and sellers. For buyers, operating with various ad unit sizes requires them to work with multiple versions of the same creative, leading to operational inefficiencies. On the seller side, there have been challenges in both the limited ability to control the pricing of inventory and a lack of reporting capabilities in their ad servers.
In collaboration with agencies and publishers, we’ve launched a project to solve these challenges by unifying ad units across all Adnami supply partners in Denmark. Our ultimate goal is to implement this initiative across all markets in order to simplify and scale the programmatic transaction of high impact inventory for buyers and sellers alike.
Instead of using standard ad unit sizes for our formats (300x250, 930x180, etc), we are now introducing sizes that are Adnami-unique. What exactly does this mean? With these new Adnami-unique sizes you will only need one size per format per device.
It is important to note that this is only changing the buying process, not the visual outlook or safe-zones of Adnami formats.
The new sizes recommended for buying Adnami formats are:
| Format | Desktop | Mobile |
| Topscroll | 1x2 | 300x220 |
| Topscroll Expand | 970x510 | 300x280 |
| Midscroll | 970x570 | 300x240 |
| Midscroll Double Height | 970x550 | 300x210 |
| Inline Midscroll | 970x540 | - |
| Skin | 970x170 | - |
| Native | 970x560 | 300x230 |
| Reel-format | 970x530 | 300x270 |
| Dynamic Sidebar | 970x520 | - |
Pros of working with unified ad unit sizes
Buying Adnami formats across publishers will become easier because only one ad unit size per format will be needed. This means there won’t be a need for buyers to create two or three different creatives. It will also prevent buyers from unintentionally buying a format on a website not intending to sell that specific format – in this case the website won't have the Adnami size implemented.
Extracting reporting data specifically on Adnami formats will be easier. It will also be simpler to set floor prices that ensure unintentional buying on standard format sizes intended for high impact. For example, purchasing a Midscroll on a 320x320 placement in the open market instead of buying on a Midscroll deal. This will enable publishers to better control their high impact inventory.
The transition from “old” sizes to the new Adnami-unique sizes will take place progressively throughout Q3, allowing time for buyers and sellers to make the necessary changes.
Adnami will ensure default sizes in our web app https://app.adnami.io are changed to match the above-mentioned sizes one-to-one.
