Step into a New Dimension

Introducing Dimensional, a new multi-layered ad format designed to build engagement and maximise revenue.

Online consumers are becoming used to more and more immersive and interactive content. Now Big Ads can offer this capability to our clients, through our celebrated ad-building platform, Buddy, and our amazing new format Dimensional.

What is Dimensional?

Dimensional brings the illusion of 3D to a still image, transforming the experience of looking at a photograph or illustration. Built up from five auto-generated layers, your artwork comes to life in a lifelike creation that moves with users’ phone movements, mouse movements or screen tilts.

With a cool hint of retro, Dimensional projects the viewer into a multi-layered reality that engages a sense of childlike wonder and curiosity. Dimensional keeps your audience on screen longer by intriguing and surprising them. 

Dimensional ads can be built in minutes with Buddy’s intuitive tools.

How does it work?

Five layers are built up in virtual parallax, so that when the user tilts the screen or moves their mouse, the image moves as if the viewer were repositioning themselves in a real space.

Dimensional content can be interacted with in three ways:

  • On mobile, with a simple swipe or drag of the finger
  • On mobiles running Chrome on Android, with a screen tilt
  • On desktops, by hovering or moving the mouse around the frame

By whatever method users interact, the ad moves responsively and instantaneously. Dimensional ads are available in the following formats:

  • On Mobile at 300×150, 300×250, 320×480 and 300×600
  • On Desktop at 300×250, 300×600 and 970×25

      What advantages does Dimensional have over other formats?

      Dimensional really does put your ad content front and foremost in the viewer’s mind. Its superior performance is down to the uniqueness and unexpectedness of the format, standing across publisher pages.

      There are several reasons why Dimensional out-performs more traditional ad formats:

          • To get the most out of what they’re seeing, users must consciously interact.
          • The ad format jumps out from a sea of static content or conventional video clips.
          • Dimensional transforms beautiful artwork into something otherworldly.
          • Engagements last longer, due to the interactive novelty of the format.
          • Dimensional content has a bigger wow factor, encouraging attention.

      Rather than ignoring the content or engaging in passive consumption, Dimensional encourages participation and engagement, fixing your brand message in the minds of your viewers.

      Dimensional attempts to hook eyeballs and keep them glued to your content and interacting with it. But don’t just take our word for it. Here are some examples of Dimensional.
