Driving Effective Reach Across TV and YouTube Advertising Campaigns

YouTube Advertising in 2021

With over four and a half billion internet users in the world, a substantial portion of the global population is online at any time of the day. The pandemic has increased the number of hours spent online every day by a person. The information and entertainment available over the internet have made it an indispensable part of people’s daily lives.

People watch a lot of online videos across different video hosting sites on the internet. But, the largest video hosting platform on the internet is YouTube. Every month, YouTube witnesses the signing in of more than two billion users from around the world. Over one billion hours of videos are being watched daily on YouTube. Apart from the above facts, the YouTube advertising options are plentiful, thus making it the most sought-after platform for marketers.

Apart from YouTube, people also watch a lot of television. Marketers thus have to use the right mix of YouTube advertising and TV advertising in order to reach their desired audiences. For effective advertising across YouTube and TV, marketers need to plan and measure their advertising campaigns across the two platforms.

By leveraging Nielsen’s television campaign data and post campaign data from YouTube, Google has developed a cross-media reporting tool. This tool is of great value for a brand and its partner YouTube advertising agency. It measures campaign performance across both television and YouTube. By using insights drawn from this cross-media reporting tool, marketers can considerably improve their campaign performance.

With the help of the cross-media reporting tool, marketers can measure the effectiveness of their YouTube video campaign and television campaign in terms of reach along with the campaigns’ efficiencies in one report.

The cross-media reporting tool finds out both overall and unique reach for both the platforms, i.e., television and YouTube. It accomplishes this by combining YouTube and Nielsen’s television data and running analysis to find out the duplicates. The tool breaks the tracked data into different groups according to demographics. This helps marketers in knowing the number of consumers exposed to YouTube video ads campaigns and TV campaigns. 

The tool helps marketers know whether people are watching their video ads frequently enough or not. It helps them know the average frequency across the YouTube video campaign and the television campaign. Marketers can improve this frequency by making changes in the budgets allotted to two campaigns. The tool also offers insights to marketers on the cost per reach of YouTube advertising campaigns and television campaigns.

By leveraging this tool, marketers can use television and YouTube together for their video advertising campaigns in a more effective and efficient manner, and drive maximum reach and return on ad spend.

Contextual Targeting Has Become Indispensable for Marketers

Contextual targeting has been around for a long time. Although it gained importance during its initial years, its importance was later on surpassed by behavioral targeting. But now, the scenario is changing and brands are increasingly using contextual advertising as the primary way to connect with consumers. Below are discussed the reasons why contextual ad targeting has become indispensable for marketers -  It does not make use of users’ personal data Contextual ad targeting does not involve the use of third-party cookies that collect users’ personal data. Hence, this approach to advertising is fully compliant with the data privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Driving Reach and Engagement with Cross Platform Advertising

In today’s time, people spend more time-consuming content on their smartphones than on their TV screens. Even when they are watching television, people tend to look into their smartphones, and during the TV commercials, their focus fully shifts to their phones. A research study that tracked eye movements of in-home participants found that over 90% of them watched TV with their mobile phones readily available to them. Participants looked into their television screens for only half of the time. The research found that one of the main reasons for not paying attention to television was participants’ staring at their smartphones. The concurrent use of the second screen, mainly smartphones, has become an inseparable part of watching TV. Due to this second screening behavior, it is becoming really difficult for marketers to engage people in TV ads, resulting in ad waste and a significantly lower return on ad spend. To deal with this problem, marketers need to adopt a Cross Platform Advertisi...
