A pushdown creative is an expanding ad that pushes down the content of a webpage when the creative expands, moving the site elements out of the way to display the ad. Pushdown creatives are desktop browser-only and can't be served in mobile apps, however, they support multimedia and interacting, allowing for effective message mediums.
