The video marketer’s guide to creator-driven audiences

Even as TV series generate hype, with the cost of production increasing and subscriber churn persisting, the traditional approach to the channel is no longer a sure bet.

In this new guide, Digiday and Google highlight new data showing how consumption habits have changed across video-based platforms, specifically focusing on YouTube’s monthly audience of 2.6 billion. With the help of expert insights, the report unpacks how these behaviors affect how marketers approach video advertising and how they are building campaigns for 2023 and beyond.
