Developing a successful ad campaign through YouTube requires a certain level of base knowledge surrounding general video production and creative constraints. It is a much different process than advertising through PPC or social media ad campaigns. There are three main forms of YouTube ads: TrueView ads, video discovery ads, and In-Stream ads. TrueView ads alone can include several different types of content such as Preroll ads and Bumpers. Bumpers are the shortest type of YouTube video ads.
