What are programmatic takeovers?

Programmatic takeovers are display ads that take up every placement on a website’s homepage or most visited pages. Takeovers are most often used for events or other special dates, as they are more expensive than smaller ad placements.

Targeting options

Unlike regular homepage takeovers, programmatic homepage takeovers let you target interested individuals based on behaviors or demographics—even serving specific individuals, rather than targeting 100% SOV for every person.

High-impact unit

Programmatic homepage takeovers are a high impact, premium unit of advertising, which comes with a higher cost but a potentially higher reward.

High viewability

Programmatic homepage takeovers meet the minimum IAB and MCC requirements for viewability, since more than 50% of pixels are viewable for a second.
