Creative Types Supported by Chartboost 🔗

Animated GIF - These engaging ads are more lightweight than video ads and can seriously increase your eCPM.
Static Interstitial - Full-screen static ads are the simplest and least intrusive way to grab your players’ attention.
Playable Ads - The best way to engage with your gamers is with playable ads. Playable ads must be made in MRAID Playable format.
Video with a static end card - High-quality video ads captivate players with end cards that feel like personal recommendations. Reward your players with in-game goodies or virtual currency after they watch a video.
