YouTube and Portal A released the second part to the Behind the Scenes documentary series profiling the Clean & Clear “See the Real Me” campaign that launched on YT last year. Portal A also produced the other two Behind the Scenes’ features about brands Johnson & Johnson and adidas. “Increasingly, we’re hearing from brands that they want to become better content creators on YouTube, but they’re not exactly sure how to do it,” Head of YouTube Ads Marketing David Mogensen told the Wall Street Journal. “We thought instead of telling them how to be better content creators, we can show them by highlighting a brand that’s going through the same journey.”

RESEARCH
Facebook is expected to hit $3.8 billion in video ad sales by 2017. Wall Street research firm Nomura estimated that the social network’s video ads carry a CPM between $22-$28, similar to premium digital-video inventory and primetime broadcast TV. The firm still projects that YouTube will reign king in 2017, and double revenue from $4.1 billion to $8.5 billion. YT ‘s CPMs average $15-$20. “In contrast to YouTube, because users are logged into Facebook’s service while viewing their newsfeed, Facebook can leverage all of a user’s data to offer advertisers unmatched targeting at scale,” Nomura analyst Anthony DiClemente said.
