Turning Attention into Action

Think about the last video you watched on YouTube...Was it something that anyone would watch? Or something quite individual to you, your needs, your tastes, or your interests? Was it a video that you gave your full attention? Or something that you didn't pay much attention to at all?

If you are like me and most YouTube users, then it was likely a video that was personally relevant to you (a quick look into my own viewing history reveals mine was a nostalgic watch of a 1980s TV quiz show I watched as a kid), and something that you gave the majority of your attention - after all you had probably just chosen to watch it. 
 
In addition to being an environment in which viewers are highly attentive, YouTube is also a place where 95% of video ads are viewable and 95% are audible*, with a variety of ad formats and advanced targeting options available.
