Create a Datafree Vertical Video Ad

Vertical ads can be shot from scratch or edited from your existing video material. This can be done by your own production teams or one of our preferred suppliers.

Datafree Video Ads are most effective when they are single-minded and simple. The key message and brand should be introduced right up front, through a combination of titles and voice-overs with call to actions working best at the 3-5 second mark.
