Search-based Targeting Tool Introduced for Brands on YouTube, Driven by Google Data
As part of the platform’s brand new ‘Custom Intent Audiences’
suite made available via AdWords on Tuesday, YouTube is now allowing brands and
marketers to target ads to people who recently searched for related products
and services on google.com. The new tool will also enable the targeting of
consumers based on anonymised information that Google collects on people across
its wider network of sites.
“Five years ago when we launched Google Preferred,
[advertisers] wanted to navigate the entire body of YouTube a little bit more
easily with more of a content lens and buying more similar to television,” said
Tara Walpert Levy, Google’s VP of Agency and Media Solutions. “The ability to
overlay that audience interest in order to get the right messages to the right
people against that most attractive content is something the market seems
finally ready for.”
Basically, the new tool would allow companies to place ads
in front of people who have recently searched for or otherwise viewed relevant topics
on any one of Google’s various websites and platforms, simply by creating
a keyword list for the video campaign in the new AdWords experience.
“Google is taking the best of what they do with search, with
maps, with some of their apps, and they’re taking that data and applying it to
their TV-like object, which is Google Preferred. It’s smart,” said Susan
Schiekofer, GroupM Chief Digital Investment Officer.
The new tool is just one of a series of new updates rolled
out by Google in recent times, with another notable example being TrueView for
Action Ads. This allows advertisers to apply customised calls-to-action along
with their video ads on YouTube, with Target CPA bidding being set automatically.
