YouTube Ads Agency
for Measurable Growth

YouTube reaches your audience on every screen, from phones to the living-room TV. We plan, target and optimise YouTube campaigns so video spend builds demand you can actually see in your results.

10+
years' experience for every senior strategist on your account

✓ Demand Gen ✓ In-stream & Shorts ✓ Custom audiences ✓ Conversion tracking

Video is no longer just for brand awareness. Done right, YouTube drives leads and sales.

We build YouTube campaigns around a clear goal, the right audience and tracking that shows what video is really contributing.

What's included

YouTube advertising,
planned around outcomes.

From picking the right campaign type to getting creative that holds attention in the first five seconds, everything you need to make YouTube pay its way.

Campaign strategy

The right mix of Demand Gen, video reach, video views and Performance Max video, chosen for your goal rather than whatever the platform suggests by default.

Audience targeting

Custom segments built from search terms and competitor sites, in-market and life-event audiences, customer lists and lookalikes to reach people likely to buy.

Formats that fit the screen

Skippable in-stream, bumper, in-feed and YouTube Shorts placements, with vertical and horizontal versions so your ads look right everywhere they run.

Creative guidance

Practical briefs and feedback on hooks, branding, captions and calls to action, based on what earns attention and clicks on YouTube.

Remarketing

Re-engage people who watched your videos, visited your site or engaged with your channel, and move them toward an enquiry or purchase.

Measurement that holds up

Conversion tracking, view-through and engaged-view conversions and brand lift where it applies, reported in plain language, not just view counts.

How we work

From first view
to measurable result.

01

Set the goal and audience

We agree what YouTube needs to deliver, whether that's awareness, consideration, leads or sales, and who it needs to reach.

02

Plan creative and tracking

We review or brief your video assets and set up conversion tracking and audience lists before a dollar is spent.

03

Launch and test

Campaigns go live with structured tests across audiences, formats and creative variations to find what works quickly.

04

Optimise and scale

Placements, bids, audiences and creative are refined continually, and budget scales into what drives results, reported monthly against your target.

Halving cost per conversion in a single month

A previous agency's account structure and bid settings were quietly wasting budget. We restructured the Google Ads account and reset bidding — cost per conversion fell from $40 to $20 within the first month.

Lead generation in a brutally competitive niche

Custom apparel is a crowded, price-driven market. Google Ads management paired with proper goal tracking and a purpose-built landing page delivered over 100 leads at an $84 cost per lead.

Not-for-profit · Ad Grants

More conversions than ever, on a Google Ad Grant

We took over a mismanaged Ad Grants account, reconfigured it from the ground up, and upgraded ads, keywords and bid settings — then maintained it to keep the grant compliant. The client has since recorded more conversions through Google Ads than at any point in their history.

01

Choosing the right campaign type

Google has consolidated its video options, and choosing the right one matters. Demand Gen campaigns run across YouTube in-stream, in-feed and Shorts placements as well as Discover and Gmail, and are built to drive action from people who aren't actively searching. Video reach and video view campaigns are better suited to awareness and consideration. Performance Max can also serve your video assets alongside search and Shopping.

We pick the campaign type based on what you need YouTube to achieve, then set bidding and targeting to match, rather than running every objective through one campaign and hoping for the best.

02

Targeting people who are likely to buy

YouTube's targeting is far more precise than many advertisers realise. Custom segments let us reach people who have recently searched for terms related to your business on Google, or who browse sites similar to your competitors'. Your customer lists and website visitors can be used for remarketing or as signals to find similar people. Combined with in-market and life-event audiences, this means your video reaches people who are actually in the market, not just anyone with a pulse.

03

Creative that earns attention

On YouTube, creative does most of the heavy lifting. Viewers can skip after five seconds, so the hook, the branding and the message need to land early. We give practical guidance on structure, captions, calls to action and formats, including vertical versions for Shorts, and test variations so decisions are based on data rather than taste. You don't need a big production budget; well-planned, simple video often outperforms polished ads that bury the message.

04

Measuring video properly

Video rarely gets the last click, so judging it on direct conversions alone undersells it. We set up conversion tracking properly through our conversion tracking setup service, report on engaged-view conversions and watch what happens to branded search and remarketing performance when video is running. Your campaigns are managed by a senior strategist with 10+ years' experience, you own your accounts and there are no long lock-in contracts. YouTube works best alongside Google Ads search and Meta advertising as part of our wider PPC and paid media services.

Questions

YouTube Ads, answered.

How much does YouTube advertising cost?+
You set the budget and pay based on views, impressions or conversions depending on the campaign type. Video views are often relatively inexpensive, but the budget you need depends on your audience and goals. We'll recommend a starting budget before launch.
Do I need professionally produced videos?+
Not necessarily. Clear, well-structured video that hooks viewers quickly often performs as well as expensive productions. We'll review what you have, advise on what to create and help adapt assets for different formats, including Shorts.
Can YouTube ads generate leads and sales?+
Yes. Demand Gen campaigns and conversion-focused bidding are designed to drive action, and remarketing to video viewers can be very effective. We measure YouTube on the results it contributes, not only views.
What's the difference between Demand Gen and in-stream ads?+
In-stream ads are a placement: the video ads that play before or during other videos. Demand Gen is a campaign type that can run across in-stream, in-feed and Shorts placements as well as Discover and Gmail, optimised toward conversions.
How do you target the right audience on YouTube?+
We combine custom segments based on Google searches and websites, in-market audiences, your customer lists, website visitors and lookalike segments, then refine based on performance.
Will I own the account and the data?+
Yes. YouTube campaigns run through your own Google Ads account, which you own outright, and there are no long lock-in contracts.
