The Universal Content Miniscroller is a responsive creative format that moves along as the user scrolls through the content. It combines brand-led impact with specific traffic drivers within a single ad execution. This ad unit contains front & back units. This gives a parallax effect with a fixed background artwork and an interactive floating foreground. This is typically bought alongside our award-winning Native products, however a client can drive to their own content should they wish to do so.
