Create a video campaign with bumper ads

30/11/2019

Bumper ads are a short video ad format that let you reach more customers and increase awareness about your brand by using a short, memorable message. With videos of 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 Google Ads 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.

Below, we’ll walk you through how to set up a bumper video campaign in Google Ads.

Before you begin

Before you set up a bumper video campaign, you should be familiar with video campaigns and video ad formats. Keep in mind that a bumper campaign can only contain bumper ads. You’ll need to create TrueView ads in a separate campaign.

Bumper campaigns require a video of 6 seconds or less, and the video must be hosted on YouTube.
