The problem — and how this kit solves it.
The Problem
YouTube supports five distinct ad formats, each with different video duration limits, aspect ratio requirements, bidding options, and companion banner rules. Getting any of these wrong means rejected creatives, wasted production budget, and delayed launches. Most teams rely on outdated spec sheets that do not cover newer formats like Shorts ads.
The Solution
This agent conducts a structured conversation to determine your video campaign goals, recommends the right ad format, and generates format-specific creative requirements. It validates video duration (6s for bumpers, 15-30s for non-skippable, flexible for skippable), aspect ratios (16:9 vs 9:16 for Shorts), frequency cap recommendations, and bidding strategy by format.
The Outcome
Produce a validated YouTube campaign specification in 10-15 minutes, eliminating creative rejection and reducing campaign setup time by 50%.
