Top 10 Banner Sizes by Region

mars 31, 2017

When you’re planing to run a programmatic display campaign, it’s important to know what the most popular and effective banner sizes are.

This is a critical component in running a programmatic campaign, and will determine the campaign reach, and what inventory you can access. Display-banner dimensions are controlled by pubslishers, and the inventory or ad-slots they make available on their site.

The 300×250 Medium Rectangle banner is by far the most popular and widespread across all markets. Followed by the runner up 320×50 Mobile Leaderboard and 728×90 Leaderboard in third place.

These top three display ad dimensions are a must have for any advertiser who wants to widen their campaign reach, and avoid missing out on showing ads to potential customers.

Banner sizes vary between countries and continents, and deciding which ads to run should be in every advertisers mind before launching a campaign in a specific market. We recommend at least 5 different ad sizes per campaign, with different variations to allow multi-variation testing.
