Orange trials new Toptable 'Spot Click' ad format

The Spot Click is a pulsating overlay ad that appears as a small branded circle on the webpage. When clicked by the user it becomes a larger ad with multimedia branded content.

Chris Wood, managing director of Toptable, said: "This is a great new ad format that sits outside of traditional ad placements and gives advertisers fresh ways to engage with consumers in new areas across our site."

The Orange ad highlights the "Orange Wednesday" offer that now includes a two-for-one deal at the Pizza Express chain as well as the longstanding two-for-one offer on cinema tickets.

Consumers who click on the overlay will be taken to an external site where they will discover more about the advertiser's products.

Toptable offers users both dining advice and a restaurant reservation service. The group incorporates a network of 61 global websites featuring thousands of restaurants in 15 countries.
