Overview
Pre-roll ads nowadays are very common on the Internet and familiar to different audiences. It’s also a very promising ad format for advertisers, and here is why: According to a Google Ads report in 2018, pre-roll ads are 3 times less likely to be interruptive than banner ads, which makes it much more effective. Trafficjunky pre-roll ads have a 5-10% average CTR on PC and are great for Branding, Retargeting, and Performance campaigns. With the pricing 1/10 of YouTube’s, it is without a doubt a very good investment to have. We typically see businesses in verticals such as Cams, Health & wellness, Casino, Poker, and mobile apps receive outstanding results in their pre-roll campaigns. Any questions?
