Ad Formats

YouTube™ Ad Popup

Summary

Embed a YouTube™ video as an advertisement - but unlike the standard YouTube ad, when the user clicks on the video, it opens and plays in a modal instead of in the sidebar, with an optional message below the embedded video. Set any width or height while being responsive and mobile friendly. It even tracks plays and views in a less-than-perfect but clever manner.

Embed An Example In Your Media Kit

Customers who wish to embed the example on some "Media Kit" page on their website can do so in one of two ways:


Option 1: If you have Wordpress and the Broadstreet plugin, you can use this shortcode anywhere in any post to render the example. 

[broadstreet ad="63285"]

Option 2: If you do not have Wordpress, or choose not install the Broadstreet plugin, you can embed this javascript code snippet into your post: 

<div street-address="63285"></div><script>
    (function(d, s) {
    // CLICK MACRO AND CONFIGURATION SECTION
    var destination = '%%CLICK_URL_ESC%%';
    // DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE
    var js, bjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    js = d.createElement(s); js.async = true;
    js.src = "//ad.broadstreetads.com/display/63285.js?sa=1&"
        + (window.broadstreet ? 'init=0' : '')
        + (destination.indexOf('CLICK_URL_ESC') >= 0
        ? '' : '&destination=' + destination);
    bjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, bjs);
    }(document, 'script'));</script>
