YouTube, precisely.

Google’s ecosystem, our precision. Content-level targeting, custom channel lists, and suitability controls, reinforced through our framework rather than broad buys on the open exchange.

The opportunity

The reach is Google’s.
The precision is ours.

YouTube is the most-watched streaming service on the US TV screen, yet most buyers run it as broad channel targeting on the open exchange. We run it at the individual-video level, under suitability controls, with channel lists we curate and refresh.

How we run it

Precision at every layer.

Google’s content graph, our targeting framework. Every control applied to a YouTube campaign exists so the buy is built around the brief instead of the open exchange.

01

Content-level targeting

Ads placed against specific content categories, topics, and keywords rather than whole channels. Google’s content graph maps every video to hundreds of contextual signals, so we control placement at the individual-video level rather than broad channel targeting.

02

Custom channel lists

Curated channel inclusion lists, built per campaign. We target specific creators and channels aligned with brand objectives. Lists are refreshed weekly on performance data and content-suitability scoring.

03

Suitability controls

Google’s built-in brand protections, reinforced through our targeting and suitability framework. Content exclusions, inventory-type filters, placement verification, and custom suitability categories, applied at the pre-bid level on every campaign.

Formats

Every format YouTube sells.

One platform, the full funnel: six-second bumpers up to the living-room screen, each placed under the same targeting and suitability controls.

Skippable

In-stream

Skippable ads before and during videos, paid on view or action. The workhorse of YouTube reach and consideration.

In full

Non-skippable

Up to fifteen seconds that play through, for messaging that has to land complete.

Six seconds

Bumper ads

Six seconds, non-skippable. Built for incremental reach and recall at scale.

Native

In-feed video

Native placements across search, watch-next, and the home feed, where intent runs highest.

Vertical

YouTube Shorts

Vertical, sound-on, swipe-native inventory, where younger attention is moving fastest.

Big screen

YouTube on TV

The living-room screen. YouTube is the most-watched streaming app on US TVs: connected-TV reach, addressable.

Inventory-type filtersPlacement types restricted to what fits the brief and the brand.
Placement verificationWhere ads actually ran, verified rather than assumed.
Custom suitability categoriesSuitability tiers tuned to each brand’s tolerance, not a one-size default.
