What are Video Ads?

Video ads can be used through various online platforms, of which YouTube is one of the largest. There are different formats available such as in-stream, out-stream and advertisements that are shown before, in the middle or after a video.

In addition, the length of the video ads plays a major role. Each video type has its own advertising requirements. For example, bumpers are exactly 6 seconds and the perfect solution for reach and awareness. A longer video of more than 30 seconds offers the opportunity to give your story more depth or, for example, to do a product demonstration. This is more suitable for telling users more about your product and potentially converting them.

YouTube has an advertising option for every objective and we are happy to think about the options, so that the video advertisement perfectly matches your objective.

Why would you
advertise using
Video Ads?

Video ads are perfect for branding and inspiration, but YouTube nowadays has many more interesting campaign types, making the channel suitable for generating conversions. You can also show videos in YouTube’s partner network, a selection of high-quality apps and websites. Whatever your objective, there is always a campaign type within YouTube that can help you reach your targets.

In addition, we look beyond YouTube and advise which other video networks are a good fit for your company. For example, certain video networks have a premium character, which may suit your needs. That is why we always look at your objectives first and then determine which channels, campaign types and ad formats best suit your needs. Wondering which video networks are suitable for your company? Then contact us quickly!
