Ad of the Week: Kia Custom Pushdown on Yahoo! Travel

Kia turns Yahoo! Travel into a hot destination for visitors to tour the 2013 Sorento in an interactive pushdown.

To unveil its 2013 Sorento crossover SUV, Kia recently ran a custom pushdown with rich backskin and video on Yahoo! Travel. True to its tagline, "a departure from the expected," the ad lets the user take a sojourn through an interactive experience to explore the heavily horse-powered seven-seater.

First-time travelers will see the 970x60 sliver auto-pushdown for a quick video teaser. The auto-push is frequency capped at once per day per user. Otherwise, the user can simply expand the sliver from 60 to 415 pixels wide to get full-fettered access to the Sorento showroom.

In addition to the video spot, the expanded pane features a photo gallery of 12 close-ups emphasizing specific interior and exterior pieces of awesomeness. The Explore tab lets you dress up the Sorento in any of a dozen colors while drooling over it from multiple angles.

With the pane restored to the 60-pixel sliver, a right-side 300x250 pane rounds out the joy ride.

The Kia custom rich media ad welds together multiple ad formats into an interactive experience that lets the user get behind the wheel.
