Formats that were used for this brand campaign

Briefly News has a great portfolio of advertising formats. Every brand has the opportunity to find formats that will perform well for their target audience.

For the brand campaign with NWU, our team advised the client to use simple yet powerful and highly visible formats: leaderboard and intext.

A leaderboard advert is placed at the top of an article and the top of the homepage. An intext advertisement is located inside an article. Both these placements are a great way to capture a reader’s attention when they engage with the content.

What was done to achieve the goal?

NWU chose these formats according to its campaign goal: brand awareness and traffic generation on the landing page. The adverts sent readers to the applications page on the university’s website.

The campaign was also constantly monitored and optimised to achieve better results. On the technical side, Briefly News’ experienced AdOps team helped to match NWU’s offer with our audience’s interests.
