You'd call it an ad if you saw it in any other context, so yes.

The definition of "ad" depends on context though (that's the point).

  • I’m sure the advertising industry has a specific term and definition for this type of ad.

    On that basis, I think it falls squarely in the advertising category.

    I’m sure someone that works in that industry can drop their knowledge on it.

  • yes exactly -- like a free sample of a snack food is an ad but not all snack foods are ads
