Create Different Campaign Segments For Different Ad Formats
All ad formats are different from each other because they reach audience members on different placements, and at different customer stages. So while your competitors will be creating the same campaign segments for different campaign formats, your strategy will be to create different campaign segments for different campaign formats.





For example, you can launch in-stream ad campaigns to target audience segments in the 35 to 54-year-old age range, as that audience segment is more likely to watch long-form video ads, and bumper ad campaigns to target audience segments in the 18 to 25-year-old age range, as people that age is more impatient with long-form video ads. 

Apply This Crazy Ad Sequencing Idea
Ad sequences are a great way to divide a campaign into a series of steps. They allow you to create a convenient funnel to encourage further engagement. 

Ad sequences work because they basically force viewers to watch a series of ads, one after the other. But if you want to launch a truly effective ad sequence campaign, we recommend you to try this ad sequencing idea: 

✓ Add a “bumper ad” as the first step in your ad sequence. 
Use this short ad to tease your next video in the sequence with a question and a timer, or a countdown. 

✓ Add an “in-stream” ad as the second step in your ad sequence. Use this long-form video ad to showcase your main offer. 

✓ You can optionally add a “bumper ad” as the last step in your ad sequence. Use this short ad to close the sequence with a call-to-action!
