How It Works

The Eclipse Video Unit delivers an immersive, full-screen experience upon a user’s first visit, ensuring maximum visibility while maintaining site navigation and functionality. Available on desktop and tablet only, this premium video format guarantees brand impact without disrupting user experience.

  • The full-screen video plays once per user visit, ensuring high engagement without overexposure.

  • Subsequent pageviews display a static leaderboard leave-behind, allowing users to easily return to the video or click through to the ad’s call-to-action.

Clients provide their creative assets to Northstar’s DigiLab team, including:

  • Video file or YouTube/Vimeo URL

  • Logo (.png format)

  • Imagery & messaging

  • Brand guidelines

  • Click-through URL

Both screens can be tagged for performance tracking, ensuring accurate measurement of delivery, engagement, viewability, and brand safety.
