Creative template for Google Ad Manager Slider

Slider - Google Ad Manager creative template

The "Slider" creative template is a dynamic and interactive advertising solution that enhances the user experience on your website. This template allows you to create a banner that slides out from any side of the browser and displays over the content of the webpage.

With customizable slide-out speed and the option to close the ad automatically after a specified number of seconds, you can control the timing and frequency of the ad's appearance. Additionally, the "Slider" template can be configured to only appear when the user has reached a certain scroll position, ensuring that the ad is only shown to engaged and interested viewers.

The "Slider" template also includes the global "clickTAG" feature, which enables easy click tracking for HTML and JS tags.

Overall, the "Slider" creative template is a powerful and effective way to engage your audience and drive conversions through rich-media advertising.

Supported formats: all image formats, hosted HTML creatives and HTML (JavaScript) code/tags.

This template works with any Google Ad Manager version, including the free version. Supports serving via out-of-page and size-defined ad units.
