French term or phrase: capsule publicitaire
This is from an article presenting a company's new corporate sound. It says:

Cette musique Corporate est avant tout la vôtre et afin d’en faciliter le déploiement, un kit complet a été développé. Intégré à un nouveau site internet Corporate, il permet l’écoute et le téléchargement de morceaux musicaux tels que les jingles, attente téléphonique ou même une **capsule publicitaire**.

Can anybody help me?

  -> True, but it is an internet site and the "ou même une..." can give that indication.....

neutral  Tony.J.A.@DT: I don't think "short video clip" is correct in this case, as the service offered specifically refers to short audio messages (most likely to listen to while on hold over the phone)
11 hrs
  -> depends on what type of phones and does mention Internet web site
