VIDEO ADVERTISING
The phenomenon
YouTube in Belgium
YouTube vs TV
YouTube vs TV
•TrueView video ads are a family of formats that give viewers choice and control over which advertisers’ messages they want to see and when.
•Viewers can choose to view your video ad or skip it if they're not interested. You pay only when they choose to watch your message.
Engage by giving viewers the choice
SKIPTHIS AD?
VIEWTHIS AD?
Target who you want - and who wants you
The opt-in nature of TrueView video ads provides natural targeting eliminating viewers who have already seen your ad or who are not in the market for what you have to offer.
Only pay for views
You pay only when viewers choose to watch your ad - not by the page impression - and our auction-based system helps you control your budget based on performance.
Increase your video view count
All views on TrueView formats are user initiated and are happening in the YouTube player. Meaning that every single view is increasing the YouTube view count of your video.
Gain essential insights
Track your performance with “AdWords for Video” and you'll know exactly which of your ads perform best, then adjust your campaigns for even greater success.
Reach people who are primed to hear your message
