I am a fan of YouTube ads and I love it when businesses take advantage of the YouTube platform. When a business comes to us asking about YouTube ads, they always get caught up on the creative. In the video below I will walk you through an effective ad and what your ad should contain to get results. Most business owners think they need an expensive video and it’s their only option. It’s not. Here are some of the most effective YouTube ads.

It might surprise you.

Number 1 YouTube Ad By V Shred

V shred is just good at what he does. They are on point with their marketing campaigns and they don’t spot creating effective ads. It’s always good to follow what some of the best are doing. Notice that most of his video is shot with a simple phone with his shirt off. A great way to show what we can look like one day. We love his bulging muscles. You know how effective a YouTube ad is by the amount they are spending and how long the ad is running. If you find an ad that has been running for months and they are spending hundreds of thousands on that ad, it should be working. V Shred is spending a lot of money on their ads. Here are the stats:

Number 4 YouTube Ad By Grammarly

Grammarly spends more on YouTube than any other company. They have 4 or 5 ads running at one time spending millions on each ad. They came onto the YouTube ad scene a couple of years back and have not let up. They come in at the number 1 spot in Ad spend with a whopping $7,000,000 on this one video. They have spent millions on other YouTube ads without making a profit. Grammarly seems to have an unlimited budget and are trying to capture market share.
