Forbes Taps AOL’s Gravity For Personalized Native Ads
Forbes has tapped AOL’s Gravity — the personalized content recommendation platform AOL acquired for $83 million one year ago — as its exclusive native content ad platform for desktop. The ads will appear on the bottom of each Forbes article in a list of “promoted stories” that fits the look of Forbes’ overall layout. It’s quintessential native advertising: it looks like the other content on the site, but it’s marked as sponsored and it’s paid for by advertisers.

Led by brands like Ford, GE, HP, and Kimberly-Clark, marketers are expected to spend $4.3 billion on this form of integrated branded content in 2015—an increase of 34 percent over 2014. Sixty-nine percent of marketers believe “native advertising is valuable,” and 70 percent of Internet users say they would rather learn about new products through content than traditional ads. Nearly three-quarters of publishers in the U.S. now offer native in some form. And the industry could be worth $8.8 billion by 2018.
