The Backgrounder is a powerful creative template for Google Ad Manager (GAM) and former DoubleClick for Publishers (DFP) that allows you to showcase your brand in a unique and eye-catching way. With the ability to display an HTML or image creative as a clickable background on your website, you'll be able to grab the attention of your visitors and drive conversions.
The background can be set as fixed, staying in place while the user scrolls, or set to scroll along with the page. You can customize the background color and closing button design to match your brand's aesthetic. This template is perfect for video ads. Increase engagement and drive results with the Backgrounder template.
It supports all image formats and hosted HTML creatives, as well as HTML (JavaScript) code or tags.
It is compatible with any version of Google Ad Manager, including the free version, and can be served via out-of-page and size-defined ad units.
