Native advertising

What is native advertising?

Native advertising is paid content shaped to match the medium it appears in, so it reads like the surrounding editorial rather than an interruption. It earns more attention than a banner and carries a duty in return: the label has to be visible, because advertising that hides what it is spends the publisher’s credibility, not yours.
