Digital Marketing - Study Notes:
Available ad formats
On YouTube, you've a number of ad formats to choose from.
- With TrueView in-stream, your video plays before, during, or after other videos. After five seconds, the viewer has the option to skip the ad. This ad format gives users a choice to engage with your advertising. You also have the option of the six-second bumper which is a non-skippable creative.
- With TrueView video discovery, promote your video in places people would find them, including next to related videos, as part of YouTube search result, or on the YouTube mobile homepage.
TrueView for Shopping and Universal App Campaigns
For more advanced advertisers, we have options such as TrueView for Shopping and Universal App Campaigns.
- TrueView for Shopping uses your Google merchant center feed to promote your products. A shopping cart displays as part of your TrueView ad.
- Universal App Campaigns allow you to promote your app across YouTube, GDN search, and within the Google Play Store.
Premium by Masthead
The premium offering on YouTube is the Masthead. It's a customizable creative that runs on the top of the YouTube homepage for 24 hours in your chosen market. It's similar to a homepage takeover on a premium publishing website. This placement is bought on a fixed price booked on a cost per day basis, and the price for this is going to vary per market.
It can be a very expensive media buy. However, given its prominence, it does have great potential reach.
