Abstract

One or more systems and/or techniques for generating a combined advertisement are described herein. A primary advertisement associated with a primary advertiser may be accessed. A primary attribute for the primary advertisement may be defined (e.g., a car advertisement may target teenage boys). A first spot advertisement associated with a first advertiser may be selected based upon the primary attribute of the primary advertisement (e.g., a car tuning advertisement that also targets teenage boys). A combined advertisement may be generated based upon the first spot advertisement and the primary advertisement. In an example, the combined advertisement may be displayed to a consumer based upon a determination that the consumer corresponds to the primary attribute (e.g., a teenage boy visiting a website). In this way, multiple advertisements (e.g., having similar attributes/goals) may be provided through a single combined advertisement.
