Connected TV

Duration

Ensure your creative is precisely 00:30:000 to meet publisher requirements. Videos that deviate by even .001 seconds will risk being rejected.

Not clickable

Remember that TVs are unclickable mediums, meaning you can’t influence consumer behavior through a click, as is possible in web video. Instead, emphasize the dealership’s name throughout the video to enhance memory recall and searchability.

Made for TV

Create a professional-quality TV video ad designed to stand out on any television screen.

Title card

Include a title card at the end of the video, ideally displayed for at least 00:03.

Voiceover

Utilize a voiceover to ensure the consumer is not only viewing the images on the screen but also listening intently to the advertising message being delivered.

Watermark

Use a watermark to ensure consistent branding throughout the video ad.

Assumes a Google search

Most consumers will see your ad and Google the most prominent message. Since users typically won’t follow vanity URLs or phone numbers without a strong incentive, we recommend excluding these elements.

Made for target audience

Design your creative with your specific automotive audience in mind, tailoring them to the specific stages of the automotive customer journey.
