What is the Grid Swap ad format?

Picture a tic-tac-toe board where each square flips or cycles through different images, testimonials, or product shots—everything stays locked in its own neat box, but the content inside shifts. It's fantastic when you need to show range without chaos: five flavors of your protein powder, a grid of real customer results, or three features demonstrated side-by-side. The uniform structure makes it feel organized and trustworthy, so viewers can take in multiple proof points without getting visually overwhelmed.
