Best Practice #1Plan For Length Based on Platform |
Most commonly, ads are featured across publisher sites through programmatic placement. Ads in programmatic are a high-value experience because they play just before the publisher's content, retaining a viewer's focus.
Ads can also be placed on YouTube, social media platforms, and streaming services via connected TVs. Each of these placements has a different video length requirement that you should consider when creating your ad. As a general rule, ad length is typically limited to 15 or 30 seconds but here are more specific guidelines for different platforms.

Best Practice #2Build the Right Foundation |
To fulfill the length requirements as detailed above, each scene should be approximately 5 seconds long. Use of three 5-second scenes will accommodate 15-second placements while 30-second placements can include 1-2 additional scenes for further context. Over years building and testing video advertisements, SundaySky has optimized around a four-scene lineup that maximizes engagement. Here are the scenes we recommend including in your video:
1. |
Opening Scene—An Introduction to the Brand |
2. |
Product or Service Scene—Showcase Your Product or Service |
3. |
Value Proposition or Unique Selling Point (USP) Scene—Highlight How Your Brand Adds Value |
4. |
Call to Action (CTA) Scene—Drive the Desired Action |
