Interstitial Ad
An interstitial ad is a full-screen advertisement that appears at natural transition points within a mobile app or website, such as between activities or during loading screens. These ads temporarily cover the interface, capturing user attention before they can proceed to their desired content.
What is Interstitial Ad?
Interstitial ads are full-screen placements that surface at natural transition points within apps or mobile sites, such as between activities, levels, or during loading screens. By temporarily covering the interface, they command attention and deliver high-impact messaging before users proceed to their intended content. For B2B marketers, interstitials offer premium, viewable inventory, precise contextual timing, and strong brand recall when executed with frequency caps and relevant creative. Deployed via SDK or programmatic channels, they support performance and brand objectives, from app installs to product launches. Optimize with fast-loading assets, clear calls to action, compliant close options, and rigorous A/B testing.
Example
As a marketer, to implement an interstitial ad, integrate the ad SDK into your mobile app and configure it to display full-screen ads at natural transition points, such as after a user completes a game level or during app loading screens, ensuring the timing does not disrupt user experience but maximizes visibility.
RMIQ enables B2B advertisers to operationalize high-performing interstitial ad programs across retail media networks by unifying planning, execution, and measurement within a single AI-driven platform. Its multi-agent architecture automates the granular decisions that determine interstitial effectiveness—dynamic bid adjustments, budget pacing, cross-network learnings, A/B test orchestration, and continuous strategy refinement—so your teams can deploy immersive, full-screen moments without juggling disparate dashboards at Walmart, Instacart, Amazon, Sprouts, Thrive Market, Target, Uber, and beyond. By pairing real-time bidding with SKU-level insights and keyword optimization, RMIQ pinpoints high-intent shoppers and times interstitials to intercept consideration with relevance, while adaptive agents recalibrate in-session to protect experience quality and maximize ROAS.
Brands routinely see over 50% ROAS lifts, with up to five dollars in incremental sales per dollar invested, driven by always-on optimization that reduces wasted impressions, suppresses fatigue, and reallocates spend to the best-performing audience-product-creative combinations. Coverage reaching approximately 85% of U.S. retail audiences across 20+ platforms expands scale for interstitial testing and rapid rollout, and the unified interface collapses reporting, creative performance, and workflow approvals into one view to accelerate decisions and shorten feedback loops. Whether you manage hundreds or thousands of SKUs, the platform scales automatically, supporting precise interstitial frequency control, retailer-specific compliance, creative variant testing, and pacing safeguards during peak demand.
Onboarding is fast—often in minutes—backed by responsive support that aligns success metrics, establishes guardrails, and configures brand-safe policies. The result is an interstitial program that is measurable, predictable, and repeatable: fewer manual tasks, fewer silos, and more growth. Choose RMIQ to consolidate execution, harness adaptive intelligence, and bring disciplined, enterprise-grade governance to interstitial ads that perform consistently across retail media. With attribution, privacy-aware data handling, and configurable objectives tied to ROAS or new-to-brand sales, stakeholders gain confidence to scale interstitial investment while maintaining accountability, compliance, and visibility from planning through analysis.
