Google will be changing the ad experience by adapting to three new trends they have noted in their user’s experience. To enhance a longer viewing experience, they will begin placing two ads stacked back to back at the beginning, where viewers can skip the ad if they are not interested. Because users also tend to utilize self-directed discovery during video search, Google is adding TrueView video discovery ads to the YouTube home feed, along with the Masthead and Universal App campaign ads. Lastly, in response to the increased watch time on TV screens, they have introduced the TV screen device type in Google Ads and Display & Video 360, allowing you to tailor your campaigns for connected TVs.
