If you're running video ads to reach your ideal audience and increase awareness, you can use interactive features to drive more engagement with your audience.
Adding interactive elements can create opportunities for viewers to engage with your brand on a deeper level, beyond watching and enjoying your video ad. Making your video ads interactive can also help you tailor your ads to better achieve specific advertising goals, such as creating awareness for your brand, driving visits to your websites, or encouraging viewers to shop for products.
