How to Create a bumper video Ads? – Bumper ads are a short video ad format, designed to allow you to reach more customers and increase awareness about your brand by using a short, memorable message.

With videos of just 6 seconds or less, bumper ads let you reach people with bite-sized messages, while providing a minimal impact on their viewing experience. You can create bumper video campaigns in AdWords using the “Video” campaign type.

How it works

• Videos must be 6 seconds or shorter. Viewers can’t skip your ad.
• A view of your bumper ad won’t increment the video’s YouTube view count.
• Bumper ads use CPM (cost-per-thousand impression) bidding. Your pay each time your ad is shown 1,000 times.
• Bumper ads can help increase awareness about your brand. They often work well when run along with related TrueView ads. (Note: TrueView ads must be created in a separate campaign.) Learn more about TrueView campaigns
• The short format can be especially effective on mobile, when people are often watching videos on the go.
