For the first time, YouTube says it will use its TrueView ad technology to ensure that ads played in movie theaters will match the preferences of audiences.
Digital ads will also run on Google properties as well as The Telegraph, Time Out, VICE, Sky, Channel 4, ITV, and Mashable.
YouTube’s Marketing Director in EMEA, Rich Waterworth says: “This campaign is a celebration of the quality and diversity of content on YouTube – the people that make it and the open platform that’s enabled it. There’s no one story that can sum YouTube up, we’re what users and creators make us. And it’s our openness that keeps creators at the cutting-edge of creativity; a place where trends are broken and go mainstream; where new stars are born; new voices heard, and where the audience is truly in charge.”
Jim Coleman, We Are Social UK CEO said: “Our approach was to celebrate the unique relationship that YouTube creators have with their fans and their role in shaping and influencing culture. #madeforyou is our encapsulation of this and the new world order of fan driven influence and celebrity.”
