Introduction to Kakao Video Ads
Kakao Video Ads provide an effective way to reach a wide audience across various Kakao services. By leveraging optimized targeting within Kakao’s video and content platforms, advertisers can achieve high performance and engagement. These video ads are designed to enhance brand awareness and promotional efforts by encouraging maximum viewership.
Types of Kakao Video Ad Types
Kakao offers two main types of video ad types: In-stream ads and Out-stream ads.
1. In-Stream Ads
In-stream ads are integrated seamlessly into the video content that users are already watching. These ads appear before or during the video, ensuring high engagement as they are presented in a familiar viewing environment.

2. Out-Stream Ads
Out-stream ads are displayed in an In-Read (Feed) format within the content, allowing a more natural brand experience without disrupting the readability of the content. These ads help maintain a smooth user experience while still delivering impactful branding messages.

Advertising Goals and Pricing Model
Kakao Video Ads are designed to boost brand exposure and maximize video views. The pricing model is based on Cost Per View (CPV), meaning advertisers are charged each time their video is played.
Advertising Goal: Video Views
The primary objective of Kakao Video Ads is to increase the number of views, optimizing ad delivery to audiences most likely to engage with the content.
Pricing Model: CPV
Advertisers pay per video view, ensuring cost-efficient exposure to relevant users.
