What affects the cost of a rich media banner?

What drives the price

Interactivity
A unit that expands to show more is quick to build. A quiz, a game or a product carousel needs logic, more screens and more testing.
Video
Editing, compressing and playing video inside an ad adds time, especially on mobile.
Sizes and versions
Every extra size, language or offer is another version to build and check.
Platform
Display & Video 360 Studio, Celtra and publishers’ own systems each have their own rules and tracking.
Weight and testing
Getting a rich ad light enough to load fast, and testing it on real phones, is part of the job.

Ways to keep it lean

Start with one hero size
Often a mobile unit or a 300 × 600, then extend from there.
Reuse one idea
Adapt a single idea across sizes instead of designing each one from scratch.
Lock copy and assets early
Late copy changes are a common cause of extra cost.
Pair it with simple banners
One rich media unit plus a set of programmatic banners stretches the reach for less.

What to send for a quote

The goal
A launch, a sale, awareness, or the idea if you already have one.
Sizes and platform
Where it will run, and the spec sheet if you have it.
Assets
Logo, photos, video and brand fonts you already have.
Deadline
When it needs to be live.

Send me those and I will come back with a quote.
