Countdown Sticker: Add a timer to your video ad to catch your audience’s attention for upcoming releases or important dates.

Premium Interactive Add-Ons: These add-ons can be used to achieve higher-funnel marketing goals such as brand awareness and community building. 

Pop-out Showcase: This image element will lay over the ad with the ability to spotlight products through a pop-out element to drive clicks.

Gesture: A user can interact with the ‘Gesture reward card’ by tapping or swiping to obtain reward credits.

Super Like 2.0: This will be available soon, but it will allow for even more visuals after a user likes an ad.
