Agency Echelon
Reference

Ads that take the visual form of the content around them: an in-feed post, a recommended article, a promoted listing. Native units are assembled by the publisher from components the advertiser supplies (headline, image, description, sponsor name) rather than served as a fixed creative. The OpenRTB Native specification standardizes the components; FTC guidance requires clear sponsorship labeling.
