People are consuming a great deal of content nowadays, across a variety of different services. Alongside an increasing supply of content for consumers, we also have many new advertisers and buyers entering the arena.
Video advertising has entrenched itself as a critical part of marketers' toolkits. Ninety-eight percent of our respondents report that video advertising is essential for engaging their target audiences effectively.
Justin Taylor emphasizes that advertisers can fully leverage the evolving landscape of video by embracing new formats, enhanced targeting, and integrated platforms to optimize their media strategies.
"Using creator videos in your ad campaigns can improve performance. In fact, based on internal data, partnership ads that live on the creator's channel drove up to 20% higher conversions on the Shorts feed than ads with advertiser branding alone."
"Holistic video connects advertisers with consumers throughout their entire day or purchase journey, using video creative and placements as the primary medium," said Eric Kretzer, director of O&O streaming ads at Amazon Ads. "So that's not only in-stream video ads as they're watching their favorite content, but also experiencing video ads the moment they turn on their streaming device or seeing a branded video on Amazon.com during the shopping experience."
