Edge-2-Edge: Premium Ad Format Offerings
Edge-2-Edge is going to replace Moments and Stage. It is a comprehensive ad collection that gives advertisers more premium placements across properties. Additionally, it gives them more flexible buying options, and improved custom features than Stage, which was a single product. Furthermore, Edge-2-Edge will expand throughout the whole Yahoo ecosystem, from Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, and Yahoo News to Yahoo Entertainment, AOL, and Engadget, offering a wider reach than Stage, which was limited to just three homepages. In addition, Edge-2-Edge performs exceptionally well in accurate targeting, overcoming Stage’s targeting limitations.
