The Ad Formats People Actually Like

Blog

Let’s face it, most ads are easy to ignore. The “skip” button gets clicked without a second thought, and if your message blends into the background noise, it’s as good as invisible. But here’s the thing: people don’t actually hate advertising. They hate advertising that wastes their time.

The ads people respond to are the ones that respect the viewer, feel relevant to the moment, and add to the experience rather than interrupting it. On Rumble, we see this every day. The campaigns that connect aren’t necessarily the ones with the biggest budgets or flashiest effects, they’re the ones that blend seamlessly into the viewing experience while still making an impact.

For example, native video ads that match the tone of the surrounding content can feel like a natural part of the stream. When a viewer is deep into a creator’s series, the transition into an ad that shares the same energy feels less like a disruption and more like bonus entertainment. Short, punchy spots also do incredibly well on Rumble Advertising Center - not because they cut corners, but because they get to the point before the audience scrolls away.

Another crowd favorite? Ads that give something back. Whether it’s early access to new content, an exclusive discount, or a behind-the-scenes peek, viewers appreciate feeling like they’re part of an exchange, not just a target. When those ads appear in the right context, like a gaming gear ad in the middle of a live competition, they stop feeling random and start feeling like a recommendation from a friend.

With Rumble Advertising Center (RAC), advertisers can tap into exactly these kinds of moments. RAC makes it easy to align your brand with the right content, creators, and audiences so your ad doesn’t just appear… it belongs. That’s when people stop skipping and start paying attention.

Ultimately, the ad formats people actually like aren’t a mystery. They’re simply the ones that show up at the right time, in the right place, with the right message. Do that, and your audience won’t just tolerate your ads… they’ll remember them.
