What is a native ad platform?
A platform is a group of technologies from which applications, processes, and technologies are developed. An online marketing platform is an integrated web-based platform where advertisers and publishers buy and sell advertising space. Behind these platforms, there are companies providing possibilities for online marketing. Online marketing platforms that are specialized in native advertising are called “native ad platforms”. These platforms enable marketers to access specialized or multiple native advertising channels.
When can you use native ad platforms?
There are different types of native advertisements to use depending on what content you want to publish and where you want to publish it. In-feed ads are the most common type of native advertising and which are meant to blend in with the surrounding content on a platform. The challenge with in-feed ads is that they have to be promoted as ads but at the same time they have to fit seamlessly into the rest of the content flow. To enable this, an option could be to cooperate with companies that know what it takes to create ads that will fit into the publisher’s platform.

How can native ad platforms support publishers and advertisers?
Native ad platforms allow content to be spread on different channels and in different formats. In today’s online marketing world it’s attractive to reach many people at the same time, from many devices, and with different types of ads. This is why native ad platforms are good tools to ease the distribution of content for both for publishers and advertisers.
To increase the chance of hitting the right targeted audience native ad platforms can help optimize the content in order to fit different types of media. The content has to match with the publisher, brand and target to be able to engage the audience. By providing recommendations, based on individual interests, the user spends more time on the publisher’s platform. It also allows advertisers to address the user throughout the experience. The right technology from a native ad platform enables recommendations across different channels and devices. In short, native ad platforms can be a helpful tool for both advertisers and publishers when it comes to targeting, distribution, optimization, and recommendation of native ad content.
Platforms and the usage of mobile devices
Because of the high usage of mobile devices today, companies have many reasons to go mobile. A mobile marketplace is somewhere people can come together online and share ideas, thoughts, and creations in today’s society. The fact that it’s possible to visit a marketplace on your mobile device makes it much easier to keep up with the latest news on the market. A mobile marketplace allows publishers and brands to meet and connect in order to create the best collaborations for future marketing campaigns.
Native ad platforms specializing in the mobile market help publishers and advertisers to distribute and optimize their content to fit the mobile applications. They aim to achieve seamless integration in order to ease the monetization of the publisher’s mobile traffic. The platforms help preserve the app’s user experience and maximize their mobile revenue.
