Streaming Ads: Engage Your Audience Across Platforms

Streaming Ads: Reach Audiences Where They Watch

Streaming is transforming how brands engage with audiences in digital spaces.

Whether it’s video content on YouTube or music on Spotify, streaming ads allow brands to advertise where viewers are most active, making it a powerful advertising option in the digital age. At Ad House Advertising, streaming is becoming a larger portion of our clients’ digital budgets. Ads appear in the content people are already watching or listening to, whether subscription video or ad-supported streaming.

Best Practices

Research your target audience’s interests, habits, and favorite platforms. For example, brands targeting younger audiences may benefit from prioritizing ad-supported streaming platforms such as YouTube or Spotify.

Select the streaming services that best match your audience. For example, a sports brand may find success with streaming platforms that air live sports.

Streaming ads should be short and attention-grabbing. Since people can skip or ignore ads, it’s important to make the first few seconds count.

Streaming ads provide valuable data, allowing brands to monitor success and make real-time adjustments. By checking which ads perform best, brands can improve their advertising campaigns and get better results.

How Streaming Ads Work

Streaming ads work by fitting into the types of content people already enjoy on digital platforms. Brands have the option to position ads at the beginning of a video (pre-roll), during the video content (mid-roll), or after it concludes. Streaming ads are digital advertisements that appear within streaming services like YouTube, Spotify, and Hulu. Unlike traditional TV commercials, these ads can run across different devices, from phones and tablets to laptops and connected tv’s. These flexible ad formats allow advertisers to choose the most effective timing based on their goals. For example, a pre-roll ad can effectively capture audience attention from the outset, whereas a mid-roll ad sustains engagement throughout the viewing experience.

With streaming TV advertising, brands can reach viewers based on specific preferences, like what type of shows they watch or music they listen to. For example, if someone loves cooking shows, a food brand could target them with relevant ads during these programs. This level of targeting helps brands connect with people who are more likely to be interested in their product or service.

Streaming Ads vs. Traditional TV Ads

Traditional TV ads, such as those on cable, broadcast stations or satellite-delivered TV, reach a broad audience, but they lack the precise targeting that streaming can provide. With streaming, we can target specific types of viewers’ interests or behaviors, based on each clients’ key prospects. This allows a car brand to specifically target automotive enthusiasts viewing relevant content on streaming platforms, rather than reaching a broader, less interested audience.

Streaming also offers a wider variety of ad formats, from pre-roll ads to video-on-demand models, which allow brands to select the style that best fits their goals. Plus, the ability to run ads on a variety of streaming content types, including movies, music, and podcasts, means brands can reach viewers across all their favorite activities. This flexibility enables advertisers to tailor their approach, ensuring maximum impact and engagement within diverse audience segments.
