PRE-ROLL VIDEO AD
What are Pre-Roll video ads?
Any video uploaded to YouTube can be an ad. Pre-Roll video ads appear before other videos on YouTube. Other video ads appear beside playing videos and in search results.
​
Who do we target?
YouTube has a variety of targeting options that help reach the right customer for your business. You can target by age, gender, location, interests and more.
​
Are results measured?
YouTube has built-in analytics that make it easy to see how your ad performs. You can also make adjustments to your ad at any time, and run multiple ads at once to see which works best. You can learn how many clicks were used, where the viewer was from in the world, and how many click-throughs you received.
How would the ads look?
We have provided a sample "look" above. For instance, when the 2,411,792 person clicks to watch the the Top 10 Funny Cat Videos your ad would play first.
​
What is the price?
Our package and pricing includes producing the 15-second video ad, purchasing the space, placing it in The Seattle Times Best in the PNW YouTube channel and providing the embed code so you can share with your customers by email, social media and your own website. Cost of nomination package, voting package and/or thank-you package is $695 each. We can use produced video footage the advertiser has "rights" to use, or a series of still photos. Our team can edit a 15-second video using client or stock assets for an additional fee.
​
What is the process?
We use materials that you supply, like photos (JPG, PNG, PDF), or generic images (all images must be owned by you, no unlicensed images may be used). This is real video, not a slide show.

Pre-Roll Video Ads are available during nominations, voting, and year around!
