What We Do
Video Advertising That Moves the Needle
DASH TWO is a Los Angeles-based advertising agency running full-service video campaigns for brands, labels, and agencies across the country. We specialize in pre-roll, CTV, social video, programmatic, YouTube, and native video — and unlike most digital shops, we also run outdoor advertising. That means your video and OOH campaigns can work together from day one, under one roof.
WHAT WE OFFER
Our Video Advertising Services
Whether you’re looking to build awareness, reach cord-cutters, or retarget warm audiences, DASH TWO has the media mix to make it happen.
Pre-Roll Advertising
Pre-roll runs before or during video content on YouTube and across the web. We manage skippable and non-skippable formats, handle targeting, and optimize for completion rate and cost per view.
CTV / OTT Advertising
We place 15- and 30-second spots on streaming platforms like Hulu, Peacock, and Paramount+. Non-skippable, full-screen, sound-on — CTV delivers TV-quality reach to audiences who’ve left cable behind.
Social Video
We run video campaigns on Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube. Each platform gets its own creative strategy, audience build, and optimization approach — not a one-size-fits-all media buy.
Video Advertising
From pre-roll to connected TV and OTT, video delivers your brand message in a format audiences actually watch. We handle placement strategy and performance tracking across YouTube, streaming platforms, and beyond.
Programmatic Video
We use DSPs to serve video across thousands of publisher sites and apps in real time. Programmatic is how we extend your reach beyond the walled gardens and hit your audience wherever they’re consuming content.
YouTube Advertising
From bumper ads to skippable in-stream to video discovery, we manage the full suite of YouTube formats. Precise targeting by keyword, topic, channel, and audience makes YouTube one of the highest-performing video channels in the mix.
Native Video
Native video blends into the editorial environment of premium publisher sites. Lower skip rates, better completion, and a non-intrusive format that works especially well for brand storytelling.

WHY LA
Why Work With a Los Angeles Video Advertising Agency?
Los Angeles is one of the most competitive advertising markets in the world — and one of the most rewarding. The city is home to the entertainment industry, the music business, major sports franchises, global fashion and lifestyle brands, and a consumer base that’s diverse, trend-forward, and highly connected.
Working with an LA-based agency means you get a team that understands this market from the inside. We know the audiences, the culture, and the channels that resonate here. We’ve run video campaigns for artists, labels, stadiums, and consumer brands — and we know what it takes to cut through in a city where everyone is competing for attention.
DASH TWO also offers something most video agencies can’t: a full outdoor advertising practice running alongside your digital campaigns. That means when you want to back a video push with wild posting in key neighborhoods, or retarget the same audience that saw your billboard, we can execute both sides without handing off to another vendor.
OUR APPROACH
How We Run Video Campaigns
We treat every dollar like it’s our own. Before a single ad goes live, we know exactly who we’re targeting, where they’re watching, and what success looks like.
Strategy first. Goals and audience come before platform selection. We build a media plan around your objectives — awareness, conversion, or both — and choose formats that actually fit the job.
Precise execution. Tight targeting, verified specs, tracking confirmed. We don’t launch until everything is set up to perform from day one.
Continuous optimization. Video campaigns don’t manage themselves. We’re in the data daily — cutting underperformers, scaling what’s working, and reporting in plain language so you always know where things stand.

Formats
Types of
Video Ads
Video advertising isn't one format — it's a full menu. Here are the main types and where each one fits in a campaign.
Pre-Roll & Mid-Roll
Pre-roll ads play before a video begins. Mid-roll runs during it — think commercial breaks inside a YouTube video or podcast. These are the most familiar video ad formats and still among the highest-performing for brand awareness. Non-skippable pre-roll (typically 15 seconds) delivers 100% completion. Skippable pre-roll gives you the first 5 seconds to make your case before the viewer moves on.
CTV / OTT
Connected TV (CTV) and over-the-top (OTT) advertising runs on streaming platforms — think Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, and ad-supported tiers of Netflix and Max. These are lean-back, full-screen, sound-on environments. Viewers are engaged and the inventory is premium. CTV ads are typically non-skippable 15- or 30-second spots, and they deliver measurable reach against audiences who've cut the cord on cable.
Social Video
Social video runs on Meta (Facebook and Instagram), TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, and X (Twitter). Each platform has its own creative norms, audience behavior, and targeting capabilities. Short-form video rules here — 15 to 30 seconds is the sweet spot on most platforms. Mobile-first, vertical formats perform best. Social video is an excellent format for direct response as well as awareness, especially when paired with strong audience targeting.
Programmatic Video
Programmatic video uses demand-side platforms (DSPs) to serve video ads automatically across thousands of publisher sites and apps in real time. You set your audience parameters — demographics, interests, behavioral signals, geo — and the DSP finds impressions that match. Programmatic is the most scalable way to run video at volume, and it's how we extend reach beyond the walled gardens of YouTube and Meta to the open web.
YouTube Advertising
YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world, and it offers some of the most precise video targeting available — by keyword, topic, channel, audience, and remarketing list. We run skippable in-stream ads, non-skippable 15-second ads, 6-second bumper ads, and video discovery ads on YouTube. For brands targeting younger audiences or running content alongside high-interest video, YouTube is often the single highest-reach video channel in the mix.
Native Video
Native video ads blend into the editorial environment of a publisher — they look like content rather than advertising. You'll see them on news sites, entertainment hubs, and content networks. Because they don't interrupt the viewing experience, native video ads tend to see better completion rates and lower skip rates than intrusive pre-roll. They're particularly effective for storytelling and brand awareness at the top of the funnel.

Common Questions
Video Advertising FAQ
What is video advertising?
Video advertising is the use of video content to promote a brand, product, or service across digital channels. It includes pre-roll ads on YouTube, in-feed video on social media, non-skippable spots on streaming TV, programmatic video across publisher sites, and native video on editorial platforms. The format varies — the goal is the same: get your message in front of the right audience in a format they’ll actually watch.
How much does video advertising cost?
It depends on the platform and format. YouTube skippable pre-roll typically runs $0.10–$0.30 per view. Programmatic video CPMs range from $10–$30. CTV campaigns generally start around $5,000–$10,000 per month for meaningful reach. Social video on Meta or TikTok can start at any budget, though $1,000–$2,000/month is a reasonable floor for testing. We’ll give you a detailed estimate based on your goals before anything goes live.
What types of video ads does DASH TWO run?
Pre-roll, mid-roll, CTV/OTT, social video (Meta, TikTok, Snapchat), YouTube, programmatic, and native video. We match the format to the objective — not the other way around.
How is DASH TWO different from other LA video advertising agencies?
Most digital agencies only run digital. DASH TWO also runs outdoor advertising — billboards, wild posting, murals, and more. That means your video campaign and your OOH campaign can work together under one roof, with coordinated targeting, messaging, and reporting.
Does DASH TWO work with brands outside of Los Angeles?
Yes. We’re based in LA but run video campaigns nationally. We work with brands, labels, agencies, and media companies across the country — wherever the audience is, we can reach them.
