Bloomberg Unveils ad.apt, a New Display Ad Format

With ad.apt Bloomberg has Simplified Advertising as it Requires very Basic Assets from Advertisers

Bloomberg Media Group recently launched ad.apt, a new display ad format that introduces innovative ad solutions in display advertising. ad.apt leverages Bloomberg’s unique data, content and design footprint, enabling the company to convert a simple set of brand elements into a host of high-impact, natively designed formats.

ad.apt allows advertisers to submit a headline, subhead, logo, brand images, video and a call to action. The brand assets are then built in-house and can be turned into a video, data, or a Bloomberg-related article. It also tailors the ad based on the viewer’s browsing history.
