Youtube ad Formate |
GEOGLE | YouTube offers several ad formats that advertisers can use to reach their target audience on the platform. These ad formats are designed to cater to different marketing objectives and provide flexibility in advertising strategies. Here are the main YouTube ad formats:
1. Skippable In-Stream Ads
These ads play before, during, or after a YouTube video and are skippable after the first 5 seconds. Advertisers are charged on a cost-per-view (CPV) basis, meaning they pay when a viewer watches at least 30 seconds of the ad (or the entire ad if it's shorter than 30 seconds) or engages with the ad.
2. Non-Skippable In-Stream Ads
Non-skippable ads are video ads that viewers must watch before their chosen video can play, without the option to skip. These ads are typically charged on a cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) basis.
3. Bumper Ads
Bumper ads are short, non-skippable video ads of up to 6 seconds in length. These ads are designed to deliver quick and impactful brand messages. Advertisers are charged on a CPM basis.
4. Discovery Ads (formerly known as TrueView Discovery Ads)
Discovery ads appear in YouTube search results or alongside related videos as thumbnail images. Advertisers are charged when viewers click on the ad to watch the video.
5. Masthead Ads
Masthead ads are premium ad placements at the top of the YouTube homepage. The ad format can vary, but it often includes a video or interactive component. These ads are typically sold on a cost-per-day (CPD) basis.
6. Overlay Ads
Overlay ads are semi-transparent banner ads that appear at the bottom of a video. Viewers can click on the ad to visit the advertiser's website.
7. Sponsored Cards
Sponsored cards display content relevant to the video, such as products featured in the video. Viewers can click on the cards to get more information.
It's essential for advertisers to consider their campaign goals, target audience, and creative content when choosing the appropriate ad format. Each format has its own specifications, pricing model, and targeting options, allowing advertisers to tailor their ad campaigns to suit their specific needs.
