Advertisers need relevance – without sacrificing performance – to deliver what really matters
The YouTube Targeting Spectrum
When it comes to YouTube ad targeting solutions, there are two main camps: Brand Safety-focused and Performance-focused. On one end, Brand Safety tools prioritize content control, ensuring your ads appear alongside highly vetted material. This often comes at the expense of other targeting options and optimization techniques, limiting your reach.
​
On the other hand, purely performance-driven tools rely heavily on automation to hyper-optimize towards specific metrics like cost-per-view (CPV) or cost-per-click (CPC). While these tools can be effective, they often sacrifice user control and detailed reporting.
