Break and Panache Test IAB Video Formats

The joint research involved tested ads run under the IAB’s guidelines using four popular in-stream video ad platform: non-interactive pre-rolls; interactive pre-roll; non-overlays (which invite consumers to engage with content, but reside outside live video frames); and overlay ads (which invite consumer participation and display full video in the window).
