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.
