Target Individual Videos or Channels for Your Campaign

The Video Targeting Tool is a self-service platform that allows advertisers to create their own custom bundles of YouTube videos, channels, and categories.

Using the power of Google search, the tool makes it incredibly easy to find relevant videos for your advertising objective. An advertiser can select from:

  • Almost 1,000 categories of video, from broad (e.g. Hip-Hop) to narrow (e.g. BMW videos)
  • All the videos uploaded to particular partner's channel (for more precise targeting)
  • Individual videos (using the Video Targeting Tool for true granularity)
