The visual component, top of SERP/above the fold location, and sheer page real estate this unit has, lends itself to a strong ad engagement opportunity…this ad is great for branding and mid-funnel efforts. For this reason, the best opportunity for this ad type is in the Nonbrand space to effectively capture users’ interest and push competition below the fold.”

Leveraging and investing in Display Ads for brand awareness alleviates this problem.
