Consumer attention has shifted hard toward video platforms. Instagram Reels, YouTube and TikTok now soak up most of the time spent online, especially among 15- to 45-year-olds. Running ads there is no longer optional for any brand that wants to reach a young, engaged audience that's hard to hit through print or TV.
On Instagram and Facebook (Meta Ads), we mix Reels, Stories and Feed formats with incredibly fine targeting — age, geography, interests, purchase behavior. Sponsored Reels are one of the most cost-effective formats right now to drive both awareness and direct sales.
On YouTube, in-stream ads (before or during a video) and Shorts let you deliver longer, more narrative messages. It's the format of choice for explaining a product, telling a brand story, or showing a customer testimonial.
On TikTok, the trick is making videos that don't look like ads: Spark Ads (boosting organic content), TopView (the first screen on app open) and creator collaborations. It's the best-performing algorithm right now for reaching a qualified audience at low cost.
At Visirank, we shape the media strategy (which format, which platform, which budget), produce or supervise the videos with our creative partners, and run the campaigns day to day to drive down acquisition cost week after week.
