Create 3D Immersive Ad Experiences on Display & Video 360

-

Last year we announced the beta launch of Swirl, an immersive 3D ad format that allows people to interact with an ad in a new way. Today, we are making Swirl available to all Display & Video 360 customers globally.

Swirl lets consumers engage with a product like it's right in front of them by allowing them to rotate, zoom and expand the creative in the ad. Swirl ads allow brands to illustrate changes in behavior, new technology performance, unique product features and more.

Brands are seeing great success using Swirl ads for various campaign goals. This includes increasing consideration by showcasing product features, building brand awareness and delivering a great mobile experience. See how some brands utilized the power of Swirl over the past year.

Purina ONE attracts new customers using 3D Swirl ads

Purina wanted to show dog and cat owners how their Purina ONE pet food can make a difference in the health of their pets in just 28 days. To accomplish this, Purina partnered with creative agency Mediamonks to create a Swirl ad that demonstrates the behaviors of a healthy pet that eats Purina ONE food. The ad uniquely allows the user to "play fetch" with a 3D dog in the ad, so that consumers can visualize the same behavior in their pet. The use of this format led to a 6X increase in engagement (vs 2D ads) through its interactive experience.

Swirl ads drove a 4x higher engagement rate than rich media benchmarks and had an average viewable time of 11 seconds, which indicated that the ad captured user attention. The 3D creatives also drove a return on ad spend (ROAS) of ~2.8 for the Colombia market.

Belvedere drives brand engagement during holiday season with 3D ad

Belvedere Vodka, a premium spirit, wanted to drive awareness and visibility of their gift sets during the holiday season and increase consideration among consumers. Belvedere partnered with production agency Mediamonks to develop holiday themed creatives using Swirl ads. These 3D ads unveiled Belvedere's gift set, including a bottle, gift bag, and martini glass. The ad enabled users to virtually view the gift set as if they were picking it out themselves in the store. The Swirl ads drove 6.5x higher brand favorability and 4.9x higher purchase intent vs. category norms, according to a brand equity measurement study by Kantar.

To get started creating a Swirl ad, you can upload pre-made 3D assets to Google Web Designer, our creative authoring tool, and use the new Swirl templates. Brands and agencies can also edit, configure, and publish high-quality, photorealistic models to use in immersive display ad using Google's 3D platform Poly.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK).
