What Is Video Advertising?

Introduction to Video Advertising

Video advertising refers to promotional content that plays before, during, or after video content online. With the explosive growth of online video consumption, video ads have become one of the most effective ways for advertisers to reach their audiences.

Types of Video Ads

There are several main formats in video advertising:

  • Pre-roll ads — play before the video starts
  • Mid-roll ads — appear in the middle of longer content
  • Post-roll ads — play after the video ends
  • Outstream ads — appear outside of video players, within article content

Why Video Ads Perform Better

Video ads consistently outperform banner ads in terms of engagement, brand recall, and conversion rates. Studies show viewers retain 95% of a message when watched in video format, compared to 10% when reading text.
