What is the POV ad format?

The camera becomes your eyes — you're walking through the store, holding someone's hand on a beach path, watching the après-ski party unfold as if you're there. It's especially popular for lifestyle brands (travel, wellness, fitness, home goods) that want you to imagine yourself in the moment rather than watching someone else have it. Works best when the experience itself is the product benefit, whether that's a calming ritual, a aspirational destination, or the satisfying proof that effort is paying off.
