It’s the world’s second most popular social media platform and second largest search engine. It helped generate $3.4B in ad revenue from 1.9 billion active users last year alone. And its reach in terms of viewability and audibility absolutely dominates other platforms.
YouTube gives brands a unique chance to catch consumers when they are already leaning in to pay attention to a video. With the ability to drive impressive brand awareness, recall, and consideration, YouTube advertising is an opportunity that your brand can’t afford to miss.
As the popularity of video has increased over the years, we’ve seen a clear trend with our clients increasingly using YouTube advertising to promote their brand and products – in fact, it more than doubled from Q1 2018 to Q3 2019.
With 51% of marketers saying video has the best ROI out of any other type of content, this increase in YouTube content makes a lot of sense. Consumers’ demand for video content is also increasing, with 54% of consumers wanting to see more video content from a brand or business they support.
