Since the release of Origin's newest CTV ad format, Aperture, we've been inundated with demo requests, campaign briefs and one very important question - 'how is it different to all the other overlay products?'
While in this short article you will see a clear grid showing the key differences, the best way to start answering that question is to be clear on its definition. Which we achieve by explaining two things:
What Aperture is designed to do.
What Aperture is not designed to do.
Let's start with what Aperture is not designed to do.
Aperture is not about creating a second experience such as those you might see with squeeze-backs. It's not about offering remote control-based interaction and it's not about throwing a box in the corner of the screen on top of your ad.
What Aperture is designed to do.
Aperture is as simple on the surface as it is complex under the hood. It's a flexible, elegant, scalable and hassle-free way of taking a standard static ad and making it an agile and dynamic creative powerhouse.
That is all. No gimmicks, no brain-melting secondary experience. Aperture is quite simply a dynamic, tailored 'creative layer' that can be applied to any ad.
