The Most Effective YouTube Campaign to Drive Awareness

It’s safe to say that YouTube is one of the most popular channels for discovering new brands – advertisers can easily share the brand messages and reach a larger audience. And as a result, video marketing became harder as there’s a large quantity of content to divert audiences’ attention.

Apart from creating an eye-catching video to encourage social sharing, how can we reach as many audiences as we can? One of the solutions is to launch Video Reach Campaign – the “simpler ways to drive growth across the customer journey with video”

YouTube Video Reach Campaign

With YouTube Video Reach Campaigns, Google’s machine learning will help you mix multiple ad formats in a single campaign, allocate and optimize your campaign, and reach as many audiences as possible.

According to YouTube insight, Video Reach Campaigns compare with standalone formats recorded 16% lower Cost Per 1000 Impressions (CPMs) while generated 29-44% more reach per dollar.

How does it work?

You can upload multiple video ads into a single YouTube campaign. Then, the campaign will intelligently serve the most efficient combination of YouTube ad formats playing before, during, or after another video – Bumper, Non-skippable, and Skippable in-stream ads, to reach target audiences at scale, with the lowest price.
