Banner ad

Also known as display ads, banner advertisements are a form of graphical ads embedded into a webpage, typically including a combination of static / animated images, text and / or video designed to convey a marketing message. The aim is to encourage the user to follow a call-to-action. Banner dimensions are typically defined by width and height, represented in pixels.
