Story Ad

A full-screen vertical ad placed between users' Stories on Instagram, Facebook, or similar platforms.

A Story ad is a full-screen vertical ad that appears between organic Stories on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, occupying the entire screen for an immersive, distraction-free moment. Because Stories are ephemeral and tapped through quickly, effective Story ads grab attention instantly, feel native to the format, and include a clear swipe-up or call-to-action sticker. They support images, video, and interactive elements like polls, and they often pair with shopping tags for direct purchase. Story ads are strong for both awareness and direct response because the immersive placement and built-in CTA shorten the distance from view to action.

Gigde designs Story ads that feel native and drive measurable response. Our PPC & Performance Advertising team builds and tests vertical Story creative at scale, our Graphic & Brand Design service keeps it on-brand and thumb-stopping, and our Influencer Marketing team supplies authentic creator footage that outperforms studio polish in the format. We continuously iterate hooks and CTAs against real conversion data.
