This is WILD! But if creators can monetize their content without needing to have interruptions, and if advertisers can achieve more reach with their target audiences, then we might be on to something here! 💡Creators still have the choice to pick brands who align with their values/personal brand/etc. and can pick and choose who/what they share with their audiences. 💡 The ad feels more integrated into their content, unlike how some YouTube integrations can be made to feel like a proper ad-break. (Resulting in audiences skipping through) 💡 The novelty of this ad style captures viewer attention -meaning greater impact. (at least for now) 💡 Small features like this, integrated into dozens of YouTube videos, within the network of influencers followed by a given target audience, is such a great/simple/targeted frequency play. Not to mention, you can double down and target these audiences with paid mid-rolls too. (just be careful not to overdo it) 💡 With the rise in ai content, edits like this will start to feel more and more normal to audiences. Though, I do still have questions: 🤔 How is this content creation process scalable? Do the creators edit their video, send it to the brand, and have them edit it in and find a good spot for it? Seems more difficult than only sending an integration over for approval (especially given potentially massive file sizes) 🤔 How is the effectiveness of this creative measured? Aside from retargeting paid media? Reach and frequency? (notice there isn’t even a link in description)

Potentially the biggest shift in influencer marketing this coming year? The concept of "creator real estate" is evolving as creators are now integrating “billboards” directly into their content. -> What’s happening: In a recent YouTube vlog, Saffron Barker sparked conversation by featuring a virtual ad placement for Lancôme. As she spoke, a digital billboard appeared behind her, mimicking a real-life billboard effect right within her video. https://lnkd.in/e9Gidjxv -> Why it matters: This marks a shift in digital real estate, similar to website banners or in-stadium ads—but with a new twist. Audiences are familiar with the concept of display advertising, but this fresh placement has an undeniable impact. There a lot of questions around this approach (impact, transparency etc.). We shared some more ideas No Logo (see below) Would you consider this as a brand? ---- https://lnkd.in/e8Y9DZ4H #InfluencerMarketing #DigitalRealEstate #ContentCreation #BrandPartnerships #adtech #promotions
