Advertising in video format displayed on platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, or within display networks.

What are Video Ads?

Video ads are advertising content in video format displayed on platforms like YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook/Instagram, and programmatic networks. They range from 6-second bumper ads to full-length product demos.

Why Video Ads Matter

Video increases conversion rates by up to 80% and viewers retain 95% of a message when watched in video vs. 10% when read. For B2B, video ads are especially effective on LinkedIn and YouTube for brand awareness and thought leadership.
