By adapting the various segments of an advertisement to fit the orientation of the displaying device, and to be persistent on the display without overlaying the application being viewed by the user, it is possible to increase viewing time of the displayed media.

In this manner, the displayed media is adapted for display area and does not intrude on the viewing area.
