Case Study: YouTube Video Distribution Campaigns

National Law Firm

This client had originally posted this video to YouTube on November 14, 2015, but was
disappointed at the initial low number of views (223 views over 202 days).

We launched a YouTube video campaign on June 3, 2016 using keyword targeting to attract users who
were already interested in similar video content.

By August 24, 2016, the video promotion generated 3588 views in 82 days.

Case study raw data:
● Before promotion: 223 views in 202 days
~ 1.1 views/day
● After promotion: 3588 views in 82 days
~ 43.8 views/day
● 1607% increase in total video views
● 3881% increase in per-day video views
● $341.23 total ad spend
● $0.10 average cost/view

By leveraging keyword targeting and ensuring the video views were intended and not forced, we
increased ongoing per-day video views by 3881% at an average cost of only $4.38/day while driving highly
interested users in the video material.

The client was very happy with the results and opted to continue the campaign on an ongoing basis.
As of February 2017, the video had over 10,000 views.
