Blog post from Google Cloud
Native advertising is increasingly becoming a significant component in mobile advertising, with projections estimating spending on native ads to reach $21 billion by 2018. Native ads are designed to blend seamlessly with the app's user experience and visual design, enhancing user engagement by offering relevant content that complements the surrounding app environment. This style of advertising is not new, having evolved from traditional media like radio and newspapers, but it has adapted to digital platforms, with pioneers like Google using search ads that align with search results. The principle of native advertising focuses on preserving the user experience by integrating ads that are visually cohesive and engaging without disrupting users. Developers can easily incorporate native ads into their apps through platforms like AdMob, which offers customizable ad units that align with the app's interface and user experience.
