Whatever the case, YouTube is making some changes to help advertisers navigate the streaming boom. This includes accelerating the launch of its Brand Lift measurement tool on TVs.
This means surveys are now optimized for the big screen and interactivity with a TV remote. People can easily respond or skip the survey.
The surveys will ask about which brands or products you recognize. The idea is said to measure whether YouTube ads are leading to increased recognition. They will start running in the coming weeks, and then later launch it on YouTube TV early in the third quarter of this year. It will enable marketers to make informed decisions about ad performance, and better optimize streaming campaigns in real-time
