1. News Feed Ads

- Site: They appear in users' news feeds, whether on mobile or computer.

- Advantages: They appear naturally between posts. They allow a large space for the image or video, making them very visible. They also have a lot of interaction because they appear in the place of primary interest for users.

- Site: They appear between friends' stories and pages.

- Advantages: They appear full screen, making them very interactive and visible. They are short and quick, which is suitable for a young audience.
