I count online promotional videos as digital advertising—just the kind that takes more coffee, more editing, and usually more time than a simple banner ever would. Sure, creating a polished video is a bigger adventure than designing a static graphic, but the purpose is identical: deliver a message, tell a story, and reach viewers through digital platforms.

So even though these videos may have required a few extra late nights and a heroic amount of rendering, they still belong in the digital advertising universe—just in the more cinematic orbit.
