Rising Stars display ad units were selected from a pool of 36 innovative submissions by a cross-disciplinary group that included agency creative directors, media executives, publishers and ad operations specialists, who judged the ad formats for their potential to drive brand equity at scale. This program is a core component of “Reimagining Interactive Advertising,” a top IAB initiative. These new-to-the-market formats will be named IAB Standard Ad Units following six months of in-market validation.
