MRAID MRAID

MRAID, or “Mobile Rich Media Ad Interface Definitions,” is the common API (Application Programming Interface) for mobile rich media ads that will run in mobile apps.

This is a standardized set of commands, designed to work with HTML5 and JavaScript, that developers creating rich media ads use to communicate what those ads do (expand, resize, get access to device functionalities such as the accelerometer, etc.) with the apps into which they are being served.

 Below is Below a sample of a code generated by Connected-Stories for a JavaScript Ad Tag:

<script id="htv_unit_exp" src="https://connected-stories.hypertvx.com/app/iol/formati/fif_loader.js?cb=%%CACHEBUSTER%%&cuu=$$%%CLICK_URL_UNESC%%$$">>
<noscript>
<a href="%%CLICK_URL_UNESC%%http://connected-stories.hypertvx.com/target.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://connected-stories.hypertvx.com/app/iol/formati/collapsed_image.jpg" border=0 width=970 height=60></a>
</noscript> 

CLICK & IMPRESSION TRACKING

When full redirect is not supported by the publisher, tracking pixel and click command tags can be associated to a format hosted on the publisher's servers and trafficked directly through them. 

This way you can get a full picture of your campaign even if they are not Connected-Stories formats.

Below a sample of a code generated by Connected-Stories for tracking pixel and click command:

3RD PARTY TRACKING

To provide full transparency to clients, Connected-Stories allows 3rd party external tracking to be associated with each format trafficked. That provides an extra layer of data stored directly on the client's databases in addition to the ones provided by Connected-Stories analytics.

Below an example of both click command and tracking pixels. Click commands are placed as click through url since they already contain the landing page within the code.
