YouTube / video ads
Video advertising campaigns on YouTube, brought in when your budget and creative assets are ready to support them.
In depth
What youtube / video ads really involves
Video can explain a product or build trust faster than a page of text, and YouTube reaches a huge audience, including people who'd never see your search ads. But video ads are unforgiving. You've got a few seconds before viewers can skip, so the opening line matters more than anything else.
We work on the script first. A clear hook, a quick demonstration of the problem and your solution, and one call to action. Production doesn't need to be cinematic. A well-lit phone video with clear audio, in which a real person explains something useful, often beats an expensive but generic brand film.
Then targeting and measurement. You can reach people by what they search, what they watch, or by a list of your own site visitors. View counts are easy to inflate and tell you little, so we track what happens next: site visits, enquiries and, where possible, sales. If video isn't producing, we'll say so and rethink.

How we approach youtube / video ads
Define the goal and audience
Awareness, leads or retargeting each need a different approach. We pick one and design around it.
Script a strong opening
The first five seconds get the most attention, along with a single clear message and call to action.
Guide the production
Practical help on shooting good-enough video yourself, or recommendations on getting it produced.

Who this fits

Watch out for
Common mistakes, and how we avoid them
Starting with the logo
Brand intros waste the skip window. We lead with the viewer's problem.
Chasing cheap views
Low cost per view can mean low-quality attention. We focus on outcomes.
Over-producing the first video
Heavy production slows testing. We start simple and invest where something works.
