Crafters is here to transform traditional ads into highly advanced interactive ads with its cutting-edge dynamic video optimization. 

With global ad spending expected to exceed $295 billion by 2026, video advertising has become an immensely popular method to connect with audiences online.

With over 2 billion active users worldwide, YouTube stands as the leading video advertising platform, hands down.

Unfortunately, engaging with users through video advertising on the open web is not as straightforward and convenient as it is with YouTube videos.

Read on to discover why video advertising on the open web is lagging behind and explore various methods that can help users unlock the full potential of video advertising across the web.

Factors Hindering Video Ad Promotion on the Open Web

Below are the reasons for hesitation in promoting video ads on the open web versus YouTube and other social media platforms:

1. Low Viewability

Video ads on the open web are often skipped or muted, resulting in low viewability rates. According to a study by IAB, the average viewability rate for video ads on the open web is only 58%. In contrast, the average viewability rate for video ads on YouTube is 95%.

2. Poor Targeting

Video ads on the open web lack precise targeting options because they rely on programmatic advertising based on website content and user browsing history which reduces advertiser control.

3. Lack of Engagement

Video ads on social media platforms are more engaging than those on the open web because they play uninterrupted.

Here are the top three reasons that have kept video advertising on the open web in the backseat. However, by modifying our advertising methods and incorporating advanced techniques such as dynamic video optimization, advertisers can witness significant improvements in their campaigns.

But, first, let’s understand DVO.

What is Dynamic Video Optimization?

Dynamic Video Optimization (DVO) is an innovative programmatic advertising approach that uses data-driven insights to create personalized video ads.

By analyzing user data, including interests, demographics, and browsing history, DVO enables advertisers to customize video content for each viewer.

Real-time analytics and contextual information are leveraged to tailor the ads based on the current context.

This personalized approach enhances the ad experience, increasing the likelihood of capturing viewers’ attention and driving conversions.

Consequently, DVO delivers relevant and engaging video content that resonates with individual viewers, maximizing the effectiveness of video advertising campaigns.

Why Should Advertisers Use Dynamic Video Optimization?

1. Advanced Targeting Capabilities

DVO offers advanced targeting capabilities, allowing advertisers to reach their desired audience with precision. Delivering video ads to the most relevant viewers increases the chances of engagement and conversions.

2. Enhanced User Experience

DVO enables advertisers to create immersive and interactive video ad experiences. By incorporating features such as shoppable touchpoints, users can seamlessly explore and purchase products or services directly from the video. This improves the user experience by eliminating the need for multiple clicks and streamlining the path to purchase.

3. Data-Driven Insights

DVO provides valuable data and insights that can inform advertisers’ future strategies. By tracking user interactions, engagement metrics, and conversion data, advertisers can gain a deeper understanding of their audience’s preferences and behaviors. These insights can then be used to optimize future video ad campaigns for better results.

4. Measurable Results

With DVO, advertisers have access to detailed analytics and performance metrics. This allows them to track the effectiveness of their video ads in real time, measure key performance indicators (KPIs), and make data-driven decisions to improve campaign performance. Advertisers can easily monitor CTRs, view rates, conversions, and other relevant metrics to evaluate the success of their advertising efforts.

5. Dynamic Storytelling

DVO enables advertisers to tell compelling stories through video ads. By leveraging dynamic content insertion and personalization techniques, advertisers can tailor their messages based on individual viewer characteristics, interests, or behaviors. This approach creates a more engaging and memorable experience for viewers, leading to higher brand recall and affinity.

6. Omnichannel Reach

DVO allows advertisers to reach their target audience across multiple platforms and devices. Whether it’s mobile, desktop, social media, or connected TVs, advertisers can deliver their video ads seamlessly across various channels, ensuring maximum reach and visibility.
