The new ad format is awesome for brands looking to quickly build high awareness for a product or campaign. Nike was the first brand to use the new product as part of its #betterforit campaign which promotes its line of women’s fitness gear.

Desktop Tumblr users can click through the “sticky” post and watch a video while mobile users will only see a static image.

David Hayes, head of creative strategy at Tumblr explained:
[quote]It’s the single biggest and boldest way for marketers to make a statement on our platform. The brand can also curate a whole bunch of content from the community. In [Nike’s] case of women’s fitness, the content can come from the community or the brand’s own blog.[/quote]
With this new tool, Tumblr is enlarging its ad offering and the first case study by Nike will certainly lead other large international brands to follow.
