YouTube Advertising That Puts Your Video in Front of the Right Viewers

Plan, produce and manage video campaigns on YouTube, with targeting and reporting built through Google Ads.

Digital Marketing Strategy

What Rocket provides

Platform checks come first. Platform availability, ad policies and merchant eligibility are checked per country before a campaign is sold. We confirm what is actually possible for your business and your target market, and we tell you plainly if something is restricted.

We plan YouTube campaigns, help you produce suitable video, and manage targeting, budgets and reporting through your Google Ads account. We advise honestly on which format fits your goal.

Who it's for

YouTube suits brands with something worth showing.

  • Brands launching products or services
  • Businesses whose offer is easier to explain in video
  • Companies building awareness before search campaigns
  • Organisations retargeting website visitors with video

Video campaigns work for awareness and for explaining complex offers. They are rarely the first channel we suggest for a tiny budget, and we say so.

Problems it solves

It helps when:

  • Static ads do not explain what you offer
  • You have video but no strategy to distribute it
  • You want to reach people by interest, topic or intent
  • Brand awareness is low in your category

Another common issue is measuring success only by views. A video can be watched thousands of times and still do nothing for the business, so we agree what success means before launch, whether that is engaged views, website visits, brand searches or enquiries, and we track those signals where the platforms allow.

What's included

Typical deliverables:

  • Goal and audience planning
  • Video creative guidance, including hooks, length and calls to action
  • Optional production through our video production or animation teams
  • Campaign setup in Google Ads, with conversion tracking
  • Audience targeting by topics, placements and website visitors
  • Optimisation, view and conversion reporting

We set up viewer-based and website-based audiences, then review which placements and topics produce engaged viewers and which waste budget. Where relevant we also recommend companion assets such as an optimised channel page, video titles and descriptions.

Options

Formats include skippable in-stream, in-feed and short-form placements, subject to Google's current offering. You may combine YouTube with remarketing and Google Ads search campaigns.

The first five seconds matter. We advise on hooks, captions for viewers watching without sound, and clear calls to action.

What you'll need to supply

We need:

  • A YouTube channel or permission to create one
  • Existing video, or a brief for production
  • Your media budget, target locations and offer
  • Access to your Google Ads account
  • Rights to any music, footage or talent in your video

Ask us for a written scope before you commit, so you know exactly what is included, what is optional and what you will pay to third parties such as platforms and software providers. A little preparation on your side shortens the setup phase considerably.

How the process works

  1. Feasibility: we check platform availability, policies and formats for your target country.
  2. Plan: goals, audiences and video concept are agreed.
  3. Produce: video is created or adapted.
  4. Launch: campaigns go live and are monitored.
  5. Optimise and report: placements and audiences are refined.

What affects cost and timing

Cost depends on whether video production is needed, the number of campaigns, the audience and reporting needs. Media spend is paid to Google and is separate from our management fee. Ad formats can differ by country.

We cannot promise view counts or sales.

Production is often the largest variable. A simple talking-head explainer is very different in cost from an animated or multi-location shoot.
