Moments Ads

Moments is a new Yahoo Native ad canvas that scales across Yahoo Ad Tech’s category-leading mobile app and web properties. Leveraging the interscroller format, a Moments Ad is revealed as a user scrolls vertically until the experience fills the entire screen. Moments supports both static and video portrait assets, and is available for both managed and self-serve advertisers.
