The next animated banner ad is by Cadabra Studio to advertise their educational platform. It has a breath-taking design, attention-grabbing effects, and functional micro animations.

The next animated ad banner example doesn’t have slideshows or character animations, but the dynamic is in the main message. Exactly the part that needs to grab your attention.

In conclusion, animated banner ads are a very popular way of engaging your target audience and boost any marketing campaign. In short, they are short movie trailers for what you’re advertising. As such, they need compelling animation and a powerful tagline, as well as to be informative and attractive.

This trio of animated banner ads examples is for the social media posts of a grocery store. The first one shows a July campaign with a specific date where you can get summer groceries cheaper. In the second, we have a lovely smooth animation of a character feeling too hot in the summer and receiving a cold ice cream that is on sale. While in the third animated ad, we have Monterey Jack from Chip’n’Dale following the scent of his favorite cheese across town straight to the grocery store.

 

Various Banners by Nikita Artoshin

Let’s continue with a collection of banner ads examples for different campaigns, all made by the same designer. The first one offers an amazing isometric animation of a futuristic night city with neon colors. It says “Invest in the Future” and invites the audience to learn more about the investment company and what it has to offer.

The second dynamic banner is for an airline and advertises lower flight ticket prices. It has the same style of animation as the previous one that makes the elements appear from different sides.

In the third one, we see one very tasty animated ad banner example of a burger revealing its delicious content. Simple and effective animation that instantly draws attention. First, the tag line says “Our burgers became even tastier” and then the animation reveals why by breaking down the extra goods in the burger.

And the last example by the same designer is a very cool-looking glitchy banner ad for online sales, offering just the start date and the amount of percentage of the price reductions.

That’s it!
