What is Hi Mom! Native Advertising?
Official Definition Native advertising is a form of paid media where the ad experience follows the natural form and function of the user experience in which it is placed.

Formats for include promoted videos, images, articles, music and other media.
do you have a problem with that? The advertiser's intent is to make the paid advertising feel less intrusive and thus increase the likelihood users will read or click on it.
Well, Did Consumers hood-winked by ads posing as editorial content. Content is not prominent or clear enough. FTC ruling in 1968, said sponsored content must clearly and conspicuously disclose that it is an advertisement. FTC Guidelines on Testimonials and Endorsements make clear that when a blog or editorial content includes endorsements -- particularly in a context where consumers would not expect a connection between the blogger or writer and the advertiser -- then the blogger and the advertiser are obligated to disclose that connection.
The introduction of native ads comes as the Times' has watched its digital advertising revenue slow. Digital ad revenue at the Times fell 3% in the third quarter, a sharper decrease than print ad revenue, which declined 2%. The Times is also developing "more scalable" solutions around programmatic buying and the company is staffing up its ad sales department to transition from "farming to hunting. "We've got an ad department that has performed brilliantly well both in print and digital, often on both platforms facing considerable secular headwinds," Mr. Thompson said. "But what we're trying to do is firstly, find new talent to further strengthen the ad department." That search includes people skilled in both digital and traditional advertising as well as ad tech, he added.
Full Native Advertising Platform includes 1) discoverability for marketers' content and stories on our site in a manner that is consistent with how other editorial stories are discovered on our site fully and transparently labeled as coming from a marketer; 2) a new set of storytelling tools and continuously scrolling multimedia storytelling pages that can be used by marketers; 3) a real-time engine so marketers can understand what's going on on our site and what actually matters in the news at that moment and a set of social amplification dashboards so marketers can understand how that content travels out across the social web so that we and the marketers can optimize with it; and, 4) also a full content studio bringing in storytelling talent of our own that sits separate -- entirely separate -- from our newsroom and works on the commercial side of that organization to help ensure that the stories being told on the Times -- just like that Putin story, just like a story by Maureen Dowd or Tom Friedman tells -- is of the highest quality possible. There s no in principle reason why giving advertisers an opportunity to get long and sophisticated messages to users can t happen in the context of The New York Times. Mark Thompson, CEO of The New York Times
February 13, 2014 Today it announced the first client, Unilever, of its Guardian Labs, its 133-person in-house branded content unit. For the year-long, seven-figure campaign starting in March, the Guardian will create content to help connect Unilever with sustainability issues. Unilever has been at the forefront of creating campaigns that engage with consumers, and with this campaign, readers will be encouraged to contribute their own videos and comments. The idea is that engagement is a more effective way to measure an ad than simple views. It s about creating dialogue. Those metrics are more authentic other than the fact you looked at an ad. David Pemsel, deputy CEO of Guardian News Media
NATIVE Online AD Platforms 2 TYPES Closed platforms are brands creating profiles and/or content within a platform, then promoting that content within the confines of that same closed platform. Examples include Promoted Tweets on Twitter, Sponsored Stories on Facebook and TrueView Video Ads on YouTube. Open platforms are defined by promoting the same piece of branded content across multiple platforms within native ad formats. Unlike closed platforms, the branded content asset lives outside the platform. For example, Adyoulike, AdsNative, Sharethrough and Nativo are open native advertising platforms, which allow brands to include the same content in native ad placements on multiple publishers.
