    Nexd

    Webp.net-gifmaker (1)-1We are so excited for this one! From now one you are able to create Nexd rich media creatives from mediasmart console. You are now able to quickly create lightweight, engaging and elegant interactive ads using a very simple drag-and-drop interface. 

    Most rich media solutions use HTML5 to power their creatives, which has been a large factor in slow-loading pages and a limited range of creative options.

     

     

    Webp.net-gifmaker (1)-2NEXD has spent the last four years building a proprietary, rich media-focused ad framework - NEXD Engine - to overcome these problems by being faster and lighter and allowing for more creativity than HTML5.

    Ghost ads for App promotion campaigns

    ghostWhen measuring Incremental Metrics in App Marketing campaigns, we use Ghost Ads; (bid requests that we have stored as “ghost impressions” or “placebo impressions” without us serving an actual ad (placing a bid).

    Thanks to Ghost ads, advertisers can gather more information at no price: no need to actually buy media to gather “placebo” results. And these placebo users will NOT be redirected to the app store, independently of whether the partner used by the advertiser allows for customization of the destination URL or not.

    Check more information about the use of ghost ads and Incremental metrics
