Overlay is a banner that plays on top of a given pre-roll, typically across the bottom of the frame. It adds a call to action on your video in a non disruptive direct response way. Overlays are valuable additions to pre-roll because they can give important information throughout the entire ad, such as show times, sales, or updates. Furthermore, all overlays are clickable and will take viewers to the advertised site. Watch VIDEO to see how the overlay works

End cards also have the ability to add fun interactive concepts to an ad. Watch VIDEO to see how the end card works

The Custom Skin is a dynamic background for pre-roll video. Building off the aforementioned Overlay format, the Custom Skin can be seen as a continuation of said Overlay — after roughly 5 seconds of the pre-roll video playing with Overlay, the pre-roll shrinks into the viewer’s screen, moving to the top right corner, allowing the Custom Skin to shine. The pre-roll continues to play, only now with the backdrop of a full clickable image of the show/brand until the ad is over. This way, viewers can interact with your brand without interrupting the ad. You can use Custom Skin for greater presentation of important information, better brand recognition, or as a way to draw viewers to your site or service with interactive features.
