"How do you reimagine things, and bring back catchy, engaging advertising?" says Peretti. "You
can't really do it in banners because there's no space. But you can do it if you give people a full
post or a bigger canvas to work with.”- JONAH PERETTI

Mobile Publishers Especially Dislike Banner Ads
“Meanwhile, STEVEN SORDELLO, CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AT LINKEDIN – said their business had
witnessed a 30% year-on-year decline in traditional display-ad revenue. As a
result, they will shift away from this
offering and towards sponsored ads in a
plight to boost annual subscriptions.”
“We believe that eliminating brand advertising,
which we also refer to as our display
advertising product, will benefit the company over the long term," said YELP FOUNDER AND CEO JEREMY STOPPELMAN. "The
industry trend toward increasingly disruptive
display advertising is at odds with our focus on
the consumer experience, particularly within
[our mobile] app.”
“The mobile banner might be the
worst ad since the popup. We
killed that thing because it was awful.
The mobile banner is just as bad.”

DSPs, SSPs, and Ad Servers have been slow to support new formats.
