Mobile OEM Ad Formats Guide
Introduction to Mobile OEM Ads, Ad Types, and Formats
Mobile OEM advertising is a distinct form of digital marketing where ads are served directly on mobile devices by the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) themselves. This strategy not only offers advertisers a direct route to consumers but also allows them to leverage the unique capabilities and environments of various mobile OEM platforms. Understanding the types of ads that can be utilized in this space is crucial for marketers looking to optimize their mobile strategies.
Display Ads
Regular display ads are a fundamental aspect of mobile OEM advertising. These ads are integrated into the user interface of mobile devices and are designed to harmonize with the user's interaction with their device. They can appear at various moments of device use—from navigating through device menus to interacting with native applications. The effectiveness of regular display ads lies in their ability to blend into the daily usage patterns of consumers, providing opportunities for advertisers to reach users within the organic flow of their mobile experience. The strategic placement of these ads aims to capture attention without causing significant disruption, making them a versatile tool for increasing visibility and engagement.
App Store Ads
App store ads capitalize on the environment where users are already looking to discover new apps. These advertisements are placed within the OEM’s app store, presenting a prime opportunity to influence users at a critical point of decision-making—during app exploration and download. This format allows advertisers to position their apps in front of potential users who are predisposed to installing new applications. By using targeted strategies within the app store, advertisers can significantly enhance the visibility of their apps, encouraging higher download rates and engagement directly at the source of user acquisition. The integration of app store ads with recommendation and search algorithms, together with other promotional ad formats makes mobile OEM advertising on alternative app stores much more robust than traditional app store advertising.
Display Ad Formats
In mobile OEM advertising, each ad format is designed to meet specific marketing goals and to engage users differently. Here’s an in-depth look at the ad formats used in this channel.

The following are some examples of various native ad placements, each tailored to integrate smoothly into specific mobile environments or applications.

Video Ads
Video ad formats with mobile OEMs can take several forms, but they all have one thing in common. They serve video ads to users in a timely and engaging manner, usually at natural transition points during the user journey or as incentivized ads to coax users to engage with the ad.

The ad formats available in these stores are designed to catch the eye of potential users at critical moments when they are actively seeking new apps.

Targeting Options
In mobile OEM advertising, targeting is crucial to ensure that ads reach the right audience at the right time, maximizing engagement and return on investment. Below you will find the list of targeting options available with mobile OEMs.
These targeting options provide advertisers with a toolkit to fine-tune their advertising campaigns to reach the most receptive audiences, enhancing both user experience and campaign effectiveness.
The Mobile OEM Advantage
What sets mobile OEM advertising apart from traditional mobile advertising? While mobile OEM advertising shares some similar ad formats with traditional mobile advertising, it sets itself apart with not only some unique ad formats but also the sheer volume and touchpoints in which it can engage with the user.
Let’s take, for example, a mobile game with action and fantasy elements.....
- Traditional mobile advertising might display the game on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- The game could be advertised through banner ads in the app stores or splash ads as in-game advertisements.
- It might also appear as an ad while the user is browsing the internet, with intermittent ads.
- Beyond the app store and internet browsing, traditional mobile advertising does not consistently or effectively engage the user.
With Mobile OEM advertising, however...
- The same game could appear on the app store in multiple formats such as banner ads, pop-up ads, or as a featured app.
- Additionally, the game can appear as an icon ad in an app vault, a search result ad during a system-wide search, a lock screen ad, or an ad in a native system app, among other things.
- The app could also be advertised by a well-timed notification ad.
- Targeting can be finely tuned, for example, by using demographics to target male players who favor action games or targeting users aged 18-30 who are predisposed to fantasy games.
- Mobile OEM advertising ensures that the app reaches the most relevant audience through a variety of ad formats.
- These ad formats are tightly interwoven into the user experience of the device, engaging the user across multiple touchpoints.
What is Branding, and Why is it Important?
Branding in advertising is focused on creating and enhancing brand awareness and recognition. Unlike performance campaigns, which drive immediate conversions, branding aims to imprint a brand's identity and values in consumers' minds, fostering long-term growth and customer loyalty.
Branding with mobile OEMs reaches untapped audiences, often less exposed to traditional digital channels like Google or Facebook ads. This provides a less cluttered environment, making it effective for new product launches and major promotions where first impressions are crucial.
How Does Branding with Mobile OEMs Work?
Mobile OEM advertising places ads within the mobile OEM ecosystem and its alternative app stores, which operate outside traditional search and social environments. This strategy is beneficial for reaching audiences in untapped markets and offers a fresh and less competitive advertising landscape.
Key Advantages:
- Sophisticated targeting capabilities extend beyond geographic and demographic metrics to include targeting like app category and user behavior.
- Cost-effective branding with lower CPM and CPC rates allows for greater reach without higher costs.
- Brand-safe and fraud-free environments ensure genuine user engagement.
- Branding campaigns are versatile, suitable for any brand, app or no app, focusing on broader goals like increasing web traffic or promoting product launches.
Measuring Branding Campaign Success
Branding campaign success is measured by metrics that reflect brand awareness and exposure rather than direct conversions. Key metrics include:
- Reach: Total number of unique users who have seen the ad.
- Impressions: How often the ad is displayed.
- Click-Through Rate (CTR): Though secondary, it helps gauge the creativeness of the ad.
- Time Spent: Duration users engage with the ad, indicating depth of engagement.
- Sessions: Number of distinct sessions that featured the branding efforts.
These metrics aim to capture the breadth and depth of brand exposure, focusing on high reach and meaningful interactions that solidify the brand's image in consumers' minds.

Meet the A-team: Viorel Cojocari, Director of Business Development at AVOW
In this installment of "Meet the A-team," we're thrilled to spotlight Viorel Cojocari, Director of Business Development at AVOW. Viorel shares his journey to joining AVOW, his role in driving our expansion, and how our company culture has fueled his professional and personal growth.
What motivated you to join AVOW?
Life has a unique way of steering us towards unforeseen opportunities that align with our plans. In my previous role, I was performing well but was looking for a change that would allow me to relocate and settle down in France. This required a remote position in an international company. My initial discussions with AVOW were incredibly positive; I was impressed by the team's professionalism and warmth. This made my decision to join the company an easy one.
What personal values or traits have most contributed to your success in driving AVOW's expansion?
I consider myself fortunate, as luck has certainly played a role in my success. However, key traits such as determination, hard work, analytical skills, and dedication are also vital. These aren’t just the qualities I humbly believe I possess, but are present throughout our team. Additionally, AVOW’s culture of humility and openness to new ideas encourages personal and professional growth, allowing us to experiment and learn from each trial.
Can you share an instance where AVOW's collaborative culture positively impacted a project you were involved in?
Certainly! One notable instance was when we secured one of our biggest clients, a feat that would have been challenging without our exceptional team collaboration. Our legal, sales, and marketing teams worked seamlessly together, embodying our philosophy that teamwork makes the dream work. This collaborative approach has led to many of our achievements.
Describe your typical day at AVOW.
My day begins with strategic planning, a crucial skill that sets the tone for effective management and collaboration. My activities range from sales to partnerships and team management. Ensuring a well-planned day is fundamental for our sales team to prioritize and execute our objectives successfully.
Beyond your professional life, what are your personal passions or hobbies?
Post-work, I'm committed to a structured schedule filled with activities. I spend an hour each day learning French, which helps me integrate better into life in France. Additionally, I dedicate time to reading about new business approaches and partake in physical activities like running, gym workouts, swimming, and meditation. This disciplined approach keeps me both motivated and fulfilled.
How has working at AVOW influenced your personal development?
Working in a multicultural environment like AVOW enhances my understanding and patience, essential qualities in our diverse workspace. Interacting with people from various backgrounds, such as Brazil and Germany, has taught me to be flexible with my expectations and approach, aiding in my consideration for both the work and people, and embracing cultural differences.
International Pet Day and the A-Team: A Chat with Selin Songur
In this interview, we sit down with Selin Songur, the Senior Manager of People and Talent at AVOW, to delve into her passionate involvement in International Pet Day. With a heart firmly rooted in animal welfare, Selin shares her inspirations for advocating pet adoption and support, sheds light on her vision for the future of International Pet Day, and emphasizes the importance of community involvement and awareness in making a difference.
What sparked your interest in celebrating International Pet Day, and how do you plan to contribute to its significance?
My interest in celebrating International Pet Day was sparked by a strong desire to support animal sheltering efforts in Gaza amidst the war. I plan to contribute by highlighting the critical work of animal shelters in the region, advocating for the welfare of animals in conflict zones, and encouraging support and donations to these essential organizations.
Can you share a memorable experience you've had with a pet that inspired you to advocate for pets and be a part of this global celebration?
Yes, the loss of one of my cats deeply inspired me. She was the most loving and sweetest creature I've ever known. Her anticipated presence and affection were a source of immense comfort. Knowing she would always be there to greet me, yet tragically passing away in another's lap and not mine, left a profound impact on me.
This loss, however, paved the way for a remarkable act of rescue and survival. During a visit to a shelter in Turkey, I encountered a kitten on the brink of death. Despite initial rejections by the first 2 veterinarians due to its dire condition, perseverance led me to a 3rd vet and to a diagnosis of flu, saving the kitten's life. This little survivor, mistaken for a female and later discovered to be male, not only recovered but became a vibrant addition to my family, embodying the spirit of resilience and joy. His addition now makes it 2 cats and a dog for us. This combined experience is what fuelled my passion for advocating animal welfare and the global celebration of pets.
How do you envision International Pet Day evolving in the coming years, and what role do you see yourself playing in its development?
I envision International Pet Day growing into a more inclusive and globally impactful event, emphasizing the importance of rescuing and adopting animals from shelters, including those in other countries. The process can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. I hope to inspire and encourage people worldwide to open their homes to street animals and those in need, playing a role in spreading awareness and facilitating these connections.
How can businesses and organizations leverage International Pet Day to promote responsible pet ownership and support animal shelters or rescue initiatives?
Businesses and organizations can play a significant role by giving voice to individuals working in animal welfare and supporting shelters both visibly and financially. They can use their platforms to raise awareness about the responsibilities of pet ownership and the importance of supporting animal shelters. While the decision to help should ultimately come from the individual, raising awareness and understanding the commitment involved are crucial steps towards a more responsible and empathetic society.
