A content hub is an integrated/native landing page that showcases one or more advertiser’s ads on your site. Populate a hub with ads automatically, based on what has been recently run, or curate a custom collection of the best ads. Use content hubs to showcase creative that has run on your site to prospective clients (advertisers) and reinforce relationships with existing clients by offering them a vanity page on your site.
How will my Content Hub look?
The layout of your Content Hub will depend on the layout of your publication, as it should appear to be a part of your site. Elements can be combined from different sections of your site to form the Content Hub layout, such as taking featured ad styling from the homepage and default ad styling from a section front.
A Standard Content Hub will generally contain a basic feed from top to bottom.
A Premium Content Hub may include custom elements, such as a featured ad.
Examples of Content Hub layouts: Standard feed and Premium custom
