People are skipping your video ad

Your video ad isn’t being watched

… because it’s… too good? 🤷‍♂️

After watching 2,000 Youtube Shorts ads, Google’s Creative Works found…

When viewers can swipe past an ad, they will. 🫥

The antidote? 🧪

Don’t look like an ad. 🤯

Here’s how:

Ads made for the Shorts or Reels feed should use phone footage to blend in to give you a fighting chance of being watched for a few seconds. 🤳

And think about it.

If you’re swiping through videos, you might not even allow an ad to speak a word before you’ve scrolled on, because it LOOKS like an ad. 🥱

Test it.

“Some of the best ads are UGC picked up or sponsored by brands”.

73% of Youtube viewers trust influencers more than major celebs. 🤩

Let that sink in.
