Reach new audiences and drive results with Demand Gen Campaigns. 

Demand Gen Campaigns are a powerful tool for generating long-term brand interest, and their impact goes beyond simply reaching customers. The beauty lies in its efficiency: a single campaign can target a wide audience across YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Discovery, and Gmail, placing your brand on key visual touchpoints or platforms on Google. Demand Gen seamlessly integrates your most captivating videos and images across Google's most engaging platforms – YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Discover, and Gmail. These immersive platforms reach a massive audience, with over 3 billion users actively streaming, scrolling, and connecting every month.

Refined Targeting with Look-alike Audiences 

Demand Gen campaigns allow advertisers to use more tailored ad experiences through look-alike audiences. Look-alike audiences allow you to plug in your own seed/based audiences. These can be people who purchased from you or even consumers who have engaged with your brand in any way. Via look-alike audiences, you can find users who could potentially have similar attributes as your existing customers.

Showcase your ads to people with similar attributes as your existing customers:
Look-alike segments allow you to interact with potential new customers who could be critical to growing your business.

Greater Control:
You can choose from 3 options (narrow, balanced, or broad) to achieve the optimal balance between reach and similarity.

More refined approach:
You can create Look-alike segments based on specific interactions people have had with your business, like watching a video or visiting a specific page on your website.

Up-to-date information:
The Look-alike segment will be continually refreshed based on updated activity to have the most up-to-date list of target customers in your existing and future campaigns.
