Ad Formats
6 YouTube Ad Formats We Use to Drive Results
Each format serves a different goal — from broad awareness to direct response. We match the right format to your objective and audience.
▶️
Skippable In-Stream Ads
Play before or during videos — viewers can skip after 5 seconds. You only pay when they watch 30 seconds or interact, making every dollar performance-focused.
🔒
Non-Skippable In-Stream Ads
15-second ads that must be watched in full — guaranteed impressions for brand awareness campaigns where message completion matters.
⚡
Bumper Ads
6-second non-skippable ads designed for maximum reach and frequency — perfect for reinforcing a key message or driving top-of-mind brand recall.
📱
YouTube Shorts Ads
Vertical video ads in the Shorts feed — reaching a younger, mobile-first audience with fast, punchy creative that matches the scroll-heavy behaviour of short-form content.
🔍
Video Discovery Ads
Appear in YouTube search results and alongside related videos — capturing users actively looking for content in your category with high purchase intent.
📺
Connected TV Ads
Reach audiences watching YouTube on smart TVs and streaming devices — combining the scale of digital with the impact of a television-sized screen.
