INFORMATION

The Cinematic Quickslider format is a high-impact sticky ad that displays above the navigation bar on desktop and mobile.

The Cinematic Quickslider is made up of 2 steps:

– On Desktop: The first step will show the Expanded State creative (resized to fit the user’s screen size) with a full-width video player. The video autoplays with sound off, which can be activated by the user. As the user scrolls, the Quickslider transitions into the Collapsed State version (resized accordingly). The collapsed Quickslider can be closed by the user or re-expanded using the expand button. If the user scrolls back to the top of the page, the larger Expanded State creative reappears.

– On Mobile: The video autoplays with sound off, which can be activated by the user. It appears above the navigation bar and remains sticky at the top while scrolling. As the user scrolls, the Quickslider transitions into the Collapsed State version (resized accordingly). The video can be closed by the user or re-expanded using the expand button. A click on the video redirects to the client’s landing page.
