Utilize exciting ad formats and dedicated templates to boost your sales and increase conversions

You need ads that get customers excited but we recognise that developing ads from scratch can take up a lot of time. To help advertisers make their ads more creative, we've launched exclusive advertising templates for high-traffic regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.

These ad templates are supported across our five advertising formats – rewarded video ads, interstitial ads, native ads, app open ads and banner ads, with a variety of choices available – and have been designed to save you time and capture the attention of customers with eye-catching designs.

How to use Pangle's dedicated ad portfolio to attract traffic and boost conversions

As an advertiser, you need to consider which platforms are best suited to your products, ad creative and where you're trying to send your viewers.

For app e-commerce advertiser, Dynamic Shopping Ads (DSA) allows brands to promote thousands, even millions of product SKUs through personalized video ads to a target demographic with specific audience interests and purchasing behavior (such as viewing product or adding to chart).

Essentially, this means that Pangle's DSA can meet two core sales objectives of app e-commerce advertisers at the same time while providing the ability to superimpose the value optimization (VO) function to convert users that show higher consumption potential.

For landing page e-commerce advertiser, if your primary goal is to win more traffic, we recommend optimizing traffic objectives. However, if you're interested in lower-funnel events such as purchase, we recommend using IAEO product to optimize purchase event or value optimization(VO) to optimize various purchase behaviors.
