Video advertising that builds awareness and drives demand

YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world and one of the most effective platforms for reaching people with video content at scale. Whether someone is searching for a how-to, watching reviews before a purchase, or just consuming content, your ad can reach them in the feed, before a video, or mid-scroll.

We manage YouTube campaigns that make sense for your goals, whether that’s building brand awareness, driving consideration, or pushing people further down the funnel. Creative guidance, targeting, and performance reporting are all part of what we handle.

What are YouTube Ads?

YouTube Ads are video ads that appear before, during, or alongside YouTube videos, as well as across Google’s video partner network. They let businesses reach people while they are watching content or browsing channels.

You choose what you want to achieve, such as awareness or sales, provide your video, and set your audience targeting. Google then optimizes delivery to reach users who are most likely to take action.

When YouTube Ads make sense

YouTube Ads usually perform well when the message is easy to understand, the creative feels strong, and video is treated as one part of the overall marketing effort. It can be very effective when paired with Search, Performance Max, Shopping, and remarketing.

YouTube Ads are a good fit when you want to:

  • Increase brand awareness with video ads
  • Introduce a new product or service at scale
  • Reach specific audiences based on interests or intent
  • Re-engage past website visitors with video remarketing
  • Support Search and Shopping by increasing branded demand

Our approach to YouTube Ads

Message and creative direction

We start with a chat about which actions matter most for your business – this might be form submissions, phone calls, purchases, or qualified leads. The focus stays on outcomes that connect to revenue, not just vanity metrics like clicks and impressions.

Before launch, tracking is checked end-to-end to ensure those actions are being captured properly. Higher‑value conversions are prioritised, so the system can learn what a good result looks like.

Creative formats and variations

Different video lengths and formats serve different purposes – we plan a mix of short and longer-form creative so ads can work across skippable in-stream, in-feed, and Shorts placements. Different content types allow us to see which hooks, angles, and messages resonate most.

Targeting and audience selection

We base targeting on how people are most likely to come across your business. This might include in-market audiences, custom intent, topics or placements, and remarketing to people who have visited your site or watched your videos before. Over time, we adjust targeting based on how people engage and what actually turns into leads or sales.

Campaign structure

We organise campaigns by objective rather than lumping everything together. For example, one campaign may focus on awareness, while another focuses on consideration or remarketing. This way, it’s obvious what each campaign is doing and where money is going.

Budget and bidding

Budgets are set based on how many people you want to reach, how often ads should appear, and how big of a role YouTube plays within the wider strategy. Bidding is based on cost per view, cost per thousand impressions, or conversion performance, depending on what each campaign is meant to achieve.

Ongoing optimisation and reporting

YouTube Ads require regular work to maintain performance. We track view rates, watch time, engagement, audience performance, and how video activity influences conversions across other channels.
As patterns emerge, we pause underperforming creative and introduce new Youtube Ads variations. Reporting looks at how YouTube contributes to your wider marketing strategy – including branded search, assisted conversions, and overall account growth.

FAQ

Get answers to common questions about YouTube Ads

YouTube Ads are video-based advertisements that appear before, during, or alongside YouTube content. They allow businesses to reach audiences through targeted video placements across YouTube and the wider Google network. Campaigns use audience signals, viewing behaviour, and performance data to deliver ads to users most likely to engage or convert.

Unlike Search or Display ads, YouTube Ads focus on video content and are designed to capture attention through storytelling and visual engagement. They often reach users earlier in the buying journey, helping build awareness and influence consideration before a search or purchase takes place.

Audience targeting can be based on demographics, interests, search intent, in-market behaviour, remarketing lists, or custom audiences. Combining multiple signals helps refine targeting so ads reach users who are more likely to engage with the message.

Common formats include skippable in-stream ads, non-skippable in-stream ads, in-feed video ads, bumper ads, and short-form video placements. Each format serves a different purpose, from building brand awareness to driving clicks or conversions.

Costs vary depending on targeting, competition, and campaign objectives. Many YouTube campaigns operate on a cost-per-view or cost-per-thousand impressions model, allowing advertisers to control spend while scaling reach based on performance.

Optimisation involves refining audience targeting, improving creative quality, testing different messaging, and analysing performance metrics such as view rate, watch time, and conversions. Regular adjustments help ensure campaigns continue improving over time.

Strong YouTube creatives capture attention within the first few seconds, communicate a clear message, and maintain visual clarity across devices. Using concise storytelling, clear calls to action, and consistent branding helps improve engagement and overall campaign performance.
