What is Spaceback? Social Display & Social CTV, Explained

Spaceback turns your real social content into real advertising. One post becomes a full set of on-brand ads — display banners, online video, CTV spots, pause ads — that run anywhere you buy media.

What is "social display"?

Social display is a display or video ad built from an actual social post — keeping the authentic look people already trust (the platform framing, your handle, real engagement counts) while serving as a standard ad unit through your ad server. You get social's creative performance with programmatic's reach and control.

Why teams use it

  • Creative that's already proven. Your best posts have engagement data — Spaceback turns the winners into ads instead of guessing at new creative.

  • Speed. A post becomes a cross-format campaign in minutes, not a design sprint. See it in the 10-minute quickstart.

  • Authenticity that performs. Ads that look like content get looked at. The social framing is rendered by us — every click still goes to your landing page, not the social network.

  • One source, every format. CTV, OLV, L-Bar (squeezeback), overlay, pause ads, and HTML5 display in every IAB size — all from the same hero post.

What Spaceback is not

We don't buy media, and we're not a social network tool — we're the creative layer. Your creatives serve through your own ad server (Campaign Manager 360 or Innovid) on media you buy wherever you already buy it. More: Does Spaceback also buy media?
