native ad

Camouflaged sponsored content

A native ad is an advertisement designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding content, matching the visual style and format of the platform where it appears.

Unlike banner ads or pop-ups, native ads look like regular articles, posts, or recommendations: The sponsored story was a native ad for a mattress company.

They're typically labeled "sponsored" or "promoted" but are meant to feel less intrusive than traditional advertising.
