Marketers share the same frustrations—it’s hard to keep ads fresh while staying true to brand identity. Fonts, colors, and logos are non-negotiable. At the same time, brands are under pressure to communicate detailed offers. Pricing, bundles, promotions, and shipping guarantees all need to be highlighted, but standard formats were never designed for this level of detail.
The result is a constant struggle. Native ad units may deliver scale, but they limit creativity. Ads start to look and feel the same, audiences tune out, and performance suffers.
Kargo was built to solve this. We don’t just adapt existing formats- we create new ones. Our teams bring together creative expertise and innovation to design ad units that go beyond what is possible in native environments. These formats help advertisers stay fully on-brand, showcase detailed offers, and deliver experiences that are interactive, bold, and completely different from the standard scroll.
Ad Units Designed for Real Needs
Social Key Art
- The Challenge: Traditional backgrounds push copy into the background, and promotional messaging gets lost.
- The Solution: Social Key Art turns the copy into the design itself. Prices, offers, or logos become the visual centerpiece. This ensures key value props are not only visible but impossible to ignore.
PLV Explorer
- The Challenge: PLV and carousels are useful for showing multiple products, but they often feel flat and disconnected.
- The Solution: PLV Explorer transforms carousels into swipeable stories. Each frame works together as part of a bigger narrative. This creates flow, sparks curiosity, and gives space for brands to showcase multiple products, seasonal offers, or campaigns without blending into the feed.
Dynamic Lookbook
- The Challenge: Brands want immersive experiences that allow them to include multiple offers, product details, and storytelling, but native social formats are often too limited.
- The Solution: The Dynamic Lookbook opens into a full-screen branded environment. Hero videos lead into customizable sections with carousels, images, CTAs, and product overlays. It functions like a mini branded storefront that audiences can explore without leaving the feed.
Why This Matters for Marketers
These innovations are designed around the challenges brands face every day:
- Staying fully branded without compromise
- Showcasing detailed offers in clear and engaging ways
- Extending the life of creative without endless redesigns
- Scaling across verticals and platforms
Creative fatigue cannot be solved by optimization alone. It requires rethinking what an ad can be. Kargo’s teams are building the next generation of ad experiences that combine brand identity, interactive design, and scalable performance.
The result is advertising that feels new, keeps offers front and center, and excites audiences every single time.
