Is anyone familiar with animated (moving) display ads? My boss asked me to create some for a new campaign. Any tips and tricks would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You can build them very easily in Canva. Perfect if you’re not a graphics pro!

Pretty sure those aren’t allowed anymore, at least not gifs. I tried to upload some recently and they didn’t work. Google changed their policy I believe, I would look it up.

I would avoid running animated or interactive banners in GDN. there's not enough control over placement like a real DSP and you likely won't see good performance. I'd recommend to focus on high caliber static banners.
