DISPLAY
Display Sponsorship
Not all display media is created equal. Placements on NPR.org out-perform industry benchmarks for viewability, time-in-view, CTR and interaction. How? National Public Media and NPR always prioritize the user experience when designing digital sponsorship. That’s why we have a best-in-class ratio of sponsorship to content, and don’t offer pop-ups or intrusive ad formats. That’s why we’re so transparent in labeling and why our sponsor’s creative loads quickly. And it’s why NPR users think highly of our display sponsors: 75% of NPR.org users hold a more positive opinion of brands that support NPR.¹
