Brief Explanation

YouTube pre-roll ads usually come between you and your favourite videos. For YouTube Indonesia, we leveraged the targeted nature of the YouTube platform in a way that has never been done before, pulling our viewers into the pre-roll itself. When a user clicked or tapped on a YouTube video, they didn’t get a random pre-roll ad. They got the video they wanted to watch. They didn’t even know they were watching a pre-roll until a few seconds later when we revealed that the video was actually playing on someone else’s phone, and that they had been caught sneaking a peek. We left the viewer with a powerful message: There’s a smarter way to watch YouTube when you’re worried about quota. To maximise our reach, we created dozens of versions for trending content across YouTube Indonesia’s most popular categories - drama, comedy, how-tos, game shows, and some that were just plain weird.
