In this guide, we'll explore all 3 ad formats.

Ad Formats on the Paved Marketplace

Sponsored Email

A sponsored email is an email that contains advertiser content alongside original publisher content, which is sent to a publisher’s existing email list. A sponsored email differs from a dedicated email in that the advertiser only creates content for a section of the email newsletter, instead of the entire email.

Example: sponsored placement by OWC in the MacRumors newsletter

Dedicated Email

A dedicated email is an email sent on behalf of an advertising partner to a publisher’s existing email list. The email is “dedicated” since the content of the entire email is created by the advertiser.

Example: Dedicated email from Echoworx sent by Owler

Sponsored Posts

A sponsored post is a blog post that is published on a publisher’s blog on behalf of an advertising partner. The content of the post is generally created by the publisher in consultation with the advertising partner and may include promotion via social media and email newsletter, depending on the publisher.

Example: sponsored post from Adobe.
