How Google TrueView is changing the remarketing game

We’ve been working with Google Europe to outline how to bring back interactors who might have watched a video you had advertised and turn that into a conversion. With the advent of Programmatic being combined with TrueView, we do have a way to do this.

While being able to now easily target YouTube channels, we were given the ability to create TrueView remarketing lists. These lists include viewers who have:

• Interacted with or viewed your YouTube videos.
  
• Subscribed to, or unsubscribed from your channel.
  
• Viewed your TrueView in-stream ads.
  
• Visited your channel.

The ability to use these lists has proven excellent as you can target users based on their past interactions with your channels.

Now we get to the exciting part. It is now possible to link these audiences back to your 3rd Party Hosting Service and then right back into your DSP so that you may now retarget them with display ads.

What this means for you is that you can use these audiences to not only retarget via YouTube but across all of the internet, which helps you:

• Increase your retargeting buckets
  
• Have a new strategy to lower your overall CPA
  
• Have a holistic approach through video and IAB across YouTube and GDN.

So in essence what we’ve done is taken an audience which was created on YouTube linked it back to our 3rd Party Hosting Service and now are able to add a brand new dimension to our retargeting strategy.

Hands up who likes this innovation?

That’s what I thought yeah! If you want to know more, get in touch with us moc.anqd@ofni
