I am fairly certain that most of us, when we watch a video on YouTube, want the advertisement at the start of the YouTube clip to disappear in order to watch the actual video; however, some people may find that they actually get somewhat engaged in the ad prior to watching the video. With this engagement, this helps trigger product awareness.

This past Friday, Google Business published a webinar by Sara Hall of YouTube’s Global Video Solutions department, describing how YouTube ads can help build your business online. I have outlined some of Hall’s major points from the webinar below.

Inspire people to discover your business. How do we do that?

• Find your most valuable audience.
• Express your business in compelling ways.
