Creative template for Google Ad Manager

The "Masthead" template is a custom creative solution for Google Ad Manager that allows you to create effective and engaging ads that drive conversions. This template combines a standard banner (base ad) with a sticky banner, which appears when the base ad goes out of view.

The "Masthead" template allows you to customize the appearance of the sticky banner, including the positioning and duration of its display. You can also use the base ad as the sticky banner, eliminating the need for separate banner files.

With a range of options to control the frequency and duration of the sticky banner's appearance, the "Masthead" template is a flexible and effective advertising solution that can be customized to meet the needs of your marketing strategy. Whether you want to capture the attention of your audience with a striking banner or drive conversions with a persistent and visible ad, the "Masthead" template has you covered.

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.
