When you’re planning to run a programmatic display campaign, it’s important to know what are the most popular and effective banner sizes. 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 publishers, and the inventory or ad-slots they make available on their site.

The minimum ads set

We highly recommend using the six most popular ad sizes as a minimum, but the more different sizes you add, the better reach, and therefore results, your campaign will have.

99% of all ad impressions are made up of these 6 sizes:

  • 300×250 Medium Rectangle - 40% of global frequency

  • 728×90 Leaderboard - 25% of global frequency

  • 320×50 Mobile Leaderboard - 12% of global frequency

  • 160×600 Wide Skyscraper - 12% of global frequency
