The challenge

Standing out around a global IP moment.

Warner Bros franchises attract huge attention but also huge competition during key release windows. The brief was reach and quality video engagement with UAE families — not impressions counted behind the scenes.

The plan had to over-index on completed views and skew toward premium content environments rather than chase the cheapest possible CPM.

The strategy

Audience-first SmartView on YouTube.

Family & entertainment audience

SmartView layers combining 1P intent, interest segments and demographic filters to concentrate spend on parents of 5–14s in the UAE.

Premium content inventory

Creator + content inventory filtered toward family entertainment, movies and theme-park channels — reducing spill-over to low-quality environments.

Quality-first bidding

Bid strategy tuned to completion rate, not just impressions — trading lower frequency for higher VTR on the right audience.

The results

12% over-plan on a premium video KPI.
