The Headliner.
The Headliner is a premium, desktop-only format that loads pre-expanded at the top of The New Zealand Herald homepage or section pages for maximum visibility. It supports both image and video creative and occupies the full available space for strong brand impact.
A clearly marked close button allows users to collapse the unit to a
970 × 250 format, with the option to re-expand on demand. The Headliner is available as either a premium tenancy (full-day homepage or section takeover) or a premium CPM impression-based buy.
