We knew that YouTube is the No. 2 search engine behind Google, but did you know that it recently took over the top spot in another category? A new study from Adriot Digital showed that 68 percent of TV viewers surveyed said they consume video content from YouTube, compared to the 51 percent who consume from live television and 48 percent who prefer Netflix.
So what greater impact does that have? Well, with the recent change of viewed video content, brands should obviously focus their advertising content outside of live broadcast television, such as on their own YouTube OneChannel.
Or, brands can produce ads and place them before other videos on YouTube. According to the Adriot Digital study, 24 percent were more likely to watch the ad videos depending on the advertisement itself. Just make sure you know who your target audience is and make your messaging reflect it.
