How we run YouTube ad campaigns
1. Understand your offer and audience
First, your products or services, ideal customers, and main goals are clarified – for example, more enquiries, more bookings, or more ecommerce sales. This shapes the type of video content and ad formats that make the most sense.
2. Choose formats and targeting
Next, the right ad formats are selected – skippable in-stream, non-skippable, bumpers, in-feed video ads, or Shorts. Targeting is then built using demographics, interests, keywords, topics, and placements so your ads appear around videos your audience already watches.
3. Build and refine creative
You provide existing video material or work with guidance on scripts, hooks, and structure. From there, variations are created for different lengths or angles, and each is paired with tailored CTAs that send viewers to the right next step, such as a landing page or contact form.
4. Launch, monitor, and optimise
Campaigns go live with tracking in place, and performance is monitored closely in the early stages. Underperforming ads are paused, budgets are moved to stronger performers, and new tests are introduced around audiences, creatives, and formats to improve results over time.
5. Report and plan next steps
You receive clear reports on key metrics such as views, view rate, CTR, cost per view, and conversions, explained in plain language. Based on these insights, future tweaks and scaling decisions are made, so your YouTube presence keeps getting sharper rather than staying static.
