    What is it:

    The Dynamic Billboard adapts to the width of the device on which it is displayed. The creative is revealed through a full-width "window" in the body of the page. As a user scrolls down, creative in the foreground (e.g., text, logos) move along the fixed background giving the appearance of a moving window. Appears on all device types.

    Design Notes: The following examples demonstrate how synergy between the creative's text/logo layout and its background image establishes an optimal scrolling experience. For example, when the text is left-justified on the left side while the image's focal point remains featured on the right side. This strategic alignment significantly improves visibility and minimizes overlap for a seamless display.  Desktop  |  Tablet  |  Phone
