As technology continues to advance, Google is looking to provide more advanced ad tools for Google Display Ads. Google is introducing a new Google display ad format, called Swirl, that allows users to interact with 3D objects embedded in display ads. Digital marketers can utilize their 3D models and assets to produce ads that engage users by letting them rotate the object, zoom in and out, and potentially start an animation.
Swirl is a new immersive display ad format available on Display & Video 360. Users can explore every angle of a product by rotating the 3D model in all directions and interacting from their device as if the product was in their hands. Google shared an example from a cosmetics company called Guerlain that created a 3D ad for one of its perfume fragrances. They used Swirl to draw people’s attention and let them interact with the perfume bottle directly and learn more about the scent by interacting with an additional link in the display ad. In this example, we can see how every interaction with the bottle creates another opportunity to provide the viewer with more information about the product. Swirl Google display ads were created for mobile devices to utilize their touch control features but these ads can still be displayed on desktop computers.
Many consumers look to YouTube creators for help when deciding on new products to purchase because they tend to give their actual opinion and brands have long been teaming up with creators to connect with their audiences. Now, brands and creators can make that experience even more personalized and useful for viewers with the help of another ad type utilizing augmented reality (AR).
M·A·C Cosmetics is the first brand to partner with the company FameBit to launch an AR Beauty Try-On campaign. Using this new format, brands like M·A·C will be able to tap into YouTube’s creator community, to help sell their products with virtual product testing.
