Why we like it:

This piece of sponsored content by GE is a custom article including insights on the challenges and opportunities facing the aviation industry. Taking a dense subject Business Insider have created a long form piece of content that feels snackable and easy to digest. Also with a large portion of this weeks campaigns choosing to live outside of the publishers normal site (sponsored hubs), it’s great to see a brand and publisher choose an article format that feels truly native.

 

Quote of the Week:

“For mid-sized publishers relying on banners won’t cut it. Slate has made this is a priority, and it now says native ads are almost half of its total revenue.”
