  5. The most popular text format today for online advertising is the leaderboard, which is comparable to a 30-second radio or TV spot or a single-page print ad. Popularity, however, does not always mean effectiveness. The majority of research and learning indicates that dramatizing a relevant benefit is more effective than any single format. Figuring out the “what’s in it for me?” from the vantage point of the customer is the best predictor of success. Additionally, think beyond pushing advertising through the ad unit box, and start thinking about interactive ways to pull consumers in and engage them to promote brand involvement digital advertising strategy
