Mediaplex Expandable Ads Overview


Advertisers use the Expandable rich media format to expand an ad creative into a larger creative upon a user mouse-over or click interaction. The most common implementations expand leaderboard creatives vertically into larger rectangles (i.e. expand from a 90 pixel height to a 500 pixel height.) or expand 250x300 rectangle creatives horizontally into larger rectangles (i.e. expand from a 300 pixel width to a 600 pixel width.) Many other implementations are also possible with the expandable ad format.
