Which YouTube Ad Format is Best: Skippable Ads, Non-Skippable Ads or Brand Placements?

  • JOURNAL OF ADVERTISING RESEARCH

The shift from traditional media to digital platforms has made YouTube a key player in content consumption. This study evaluates the effectiveness of YouTube's popular advertising formats—skippable ads, non-skippable ads and brand placements—within infotainment videos. Findings suggest that skippable ads and brand placements are perceived as less intrusive, while non-skippable ads enhance brand recall. Combining skippable ads with brand placements yields comparable results to non-skippable ads alone. Brand placements alone foster more positive brand attitudes compared to other ad types. The study provides valuable insights for marketers on the cost-benefit tradeoffs of different YouTube advertising formats, emphasizing the importance of aligning promotional tools with campaign objectives.
