The document discusses new creative-friendly ad formats being introduced by the IAB to help revitalize online advertising. It notes that traditional banner ads have become cluttered and don't allow for much creativity. The IAB is introducing six new "Rising Star" ad formats - Billboard, Filmstrip, Portrait, Pushdown, Sidekick, and Slider - which were selected based on criteria like branding, user experience, functionality, and adoption potential. The formats are aimed at giving marketers more room for creativity while enhancing the user experience. Initial metrics suggest the new formats are driving more business impact than traditional banners.
