Storycat Agency, a digital marketing agency in Kerala, brings your brand to life on YouTube with high-quality ads that capture its essence.
Why is YouTube advertising important?
Video ads are a go-to resource for any business looking to increase exposure, build brand awareness and drive conversions. The platform attracts over 100 million active users every month, giving a business an enormous audience to reach. Advanced targeting options let you narrow down your chosen customer base by important demographics, interests and behaviours. An agency helps make sure the right ads reach the most relevant audience, increasing the effectiveness and impact of your marketing.
Exposure
YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world, behind only Google. One of the biggest reasons people visit the platform is content creators across a wide range of consumer verticals. They make it the second most popular platform for influencer marketing, as consumers look to trusted voices for education and entertainment.
Sales
With 70% of people purchasing a product because of a video ad, it is a great driver of conversions and a verified revenue channel. In fact, ads with strong CTAs drive a 30% boost in short-term sales.
Data-driven insights
Whether you are a complete newbie or highly experienced in content creation and ads, this platform gives you a helping hand. While your ads are running, you receive plenty of data, such as views, impressions, clicks and other useful metrics to track. These let you test different ads to find the best-performing one and increase ad recall by 60%.
Retargeting
Engage your audiences beyond the initial ad. Keep your brand top of mind with remarketing and drive more conversions.
How Do These Ads Work?
There are many ad formats and options, and they are fully customizable: you decide what you’re promoting, who you’re reaching and how much it costs. The backbone of video marketing, it offers many ways to interact with the right audience, track your success and tap into an engaged community and the emotional hooks that drive engagement.
First, understand some of the ad formats available:
Skippable in-stream ads:
Ads that run before, during or after content a user is watching and can be skipped after 5 seconds.
Non-skippable in-stream ads:
The opposite of the above. They still run before, during or after a video, but are only 15 seconds and cannot be skipped.
Outstream ads:
Designed for mobile on Google video partner sites.
Masthead ads:
These appear on the home feed.
Overlay ads:
Not video ads, but text and image display ads on desktop.
In-feed video ads:
Get your video suggested to audiences in search results and the “watch next” section.
Not sure which format is right for you? Consider the following:
Video length:
Video ads can be any length, but views are counted either at the 30-second mark or at the end, whichever comes first.
Skippable:
Skippable ads usually mean fewer views, but they mean higher intent. People who keep watching after the Skip Ad button appears at five seconds are usually interested and more likely to buy.
Network:
Depending on the audience you want to reach, decide where your ad should show: in-stream or out-stream on a partner site.
Sound:
The majority of videos are viewed with sound on, so clear audio is a necessity.
Views are counted either at the end or at the 30-second mark, while impressions of non-skippable ads simply mean how many times the ad has been seen. They are different metrics of engagement and intent, depending on whether the audience chose to watch the ad or simply had no choice. Only users who have viewed an ad can be remarketed to, not those who saw it because it wasn’t skippable.

Does My Business Need YouTube Ads?
Undoubtedly. It has emerged as one of the most popular channels for video marketing. It extends your reach, converts leads, earns revenue and builds long-lasting trust in your brand. It combines the best of advertising: a battle-tested pay-per-click or pay-per-view model and granular audience targeting, delivered through a highly immersive and engaging medium. So, yes, your business needs it.
Whether your channel has grown to thousands of organic subscribers or is still in its initial stages, ads will increase your exposure, often doubling or tripling it. They are also easily shareable, which extends your display instantly. Done correctly, they are highly targeted and put your brand straight in front of the most important audiences, and effective targeting means they can influence customer behaviour more than on most other platforms.
You can show, not just tell, highlighting product features and benefits through effective storytelling. Like any video, ads are easily and inexpensively produced, and with the per-view or per-impression model you can target as many users as possible and reach them for much less. There is also room for improvement: the Analytics tab offers in-depth insights into campaign performance, so you can fix issues and keep driving results. Over time, it builds value across your business by driving better performance month over month and increasing reach, brand recall and brand value.
