What are Dynamic Ads?
• Any ad format in which a piece of your creative is dynamically generated or updated
• Term used to broadly define ads that use personalized content or customized messaging
• Typically rely heavily on audience data
• Used throughout digital marketing, particularly in Display & Social Media channels…and in the last year or so, now more readily available to use in PPC!

“One of the biggest trends in paid search
we’re going to see in PPC in 2015 is less
control and more dynamic solutions”
“Ad customizers [dynamic ad feature] are
so important because they give text ads
their own degree of eye candy”
“Dynamic creative is going to become
vital as people become increasingly
used to being served that kind of ad”
