The Problem
Facebook natively enables brands to optimize a video ad campaign for Thruplay, meaning that they will serve the ad to people likely to watch up to a maximum of 15 seconds or 100% (whichever is shorter). Many brands want people to fully engage with longer form video content.
Rockstar, working with their performance agency REPRISE invited Optily+ to help them optimize the official trailers around the launch of their flagship title Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar wanted to ensure maximum budget was assigned to audiences most likely to watch 100% of the video.
