CLICKABLE BACKGROUND
The background layer fades in behind the content column. The article stays untouched and fully readable; the surround belongs to one advertiser.

The takeover package

  • • Background + site skin + masthead = the classic three-part homepage takeover
  • • Sold as fixed-time flights (a day, a week) to a single advertiser
  • • Frequency and pacing reported like any other placement through the dashboard
Questions
