NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Crisp Media, a cross platform rich media advertising provider, announced today that it has added several new interactive features to its Adhesion ad units — including 3D, video and animation campaign capabilities. Adhesion is a persistent, above the fold overlay ad placement that outperforms standard banners by more than 2 to 1, and enables publishers to sell premium mobile inventory more effectively and at higher prices. Adhesion is the perfect springboard for mobile rich media campaigns on smartphones as ads are kept in view while scrolling vertically up and down the page.
“Finally, publishers can monetize desktop sites viewed in iPad Safari with rich media ads, and advertisers can stop wasting money on banners that are invisible or distorted on the iPad.”
Adhesion for iPad expands the value proposition for advertisers who want to run rich media on tablets. Safari is the most popular app on iPad, but it suffers from a major formatting problem — publisher sites cannot control the ad experience when users pinch and zoom desktop formatted pages, leaving ads missing from the page or pixelated. Adhesion corrects this problem. Beyond being an advanced placement, Adhesion layers on a bevy of new interactive features aimed at driving up dwell time, without overloading the user or the mobile network. Adhesion’s new features include enhanced video performance, animated creative without Flash and accelerometer controlled 3D effects without plug-ins.
Over the summer Crisp launched a wide set of campaigns that leverage Adhesion’s new design flexibility and deep device functionality.

“Adhesion is the most advanced placement on the market. It ends banner blindness on any sized screen,” added Fridman. “Finally, publishers can monetize desktop sites viewed in iPad Safari with rich media ads, and advertisers can stop wasting money on banners that are invisible or distorted on the iPad.”
