How to create a customized Ad experience with Native Ads

Native display advertising is a type of advertising that conforms to the form and function of the platform upon which it comes across. 

Which makes it preferred to other forms of advertising like banner ads which is very distracting and stands out from the displaying content.

How Native Ads and Banner ad Components differs

For Native advertising, the advertiser (brand) gives the components of the advertisement like the headline, URL, images, log and others to the publisher. This is unlike law firm PPC or other paid types of advertising that display prominently at the top of the search result.

The publisher then uses the ad manager to create a design or style to match their site or app. The user of the app or site sees a different interface from the one that was sent by the advertiser.

The banner advertiser gives a complete image with a fixed size to the ad manager, the ad manager doesn't change it to fit their site, the ad manager sends it as it was received. The user sees the exact complete image sent by the advertiser.
