As it has done in years past, YouTube has launched an outdoor and digital advertising campaign to spotlight various members of its creator community — this time in the UK. Dubbed #MadeForYou, the campaign celebrates 18 diverse creators whose channels range from science to spoken word poetry.
The campaign also serves to signify that close to 200 channels in the UK have over 1 million subscribers, according to YouTube. The 18 creators featured in #MadeForYou — including TomSka, Kaushal Beauty, Caspar Lee, Colin Furze, Scola Dondo, Tanya Burr, Vikkstar123, Cupcake Jemma, Oli White, Humza Arshad, Suli Breaks, Louise Pentland, Patricia Bright, Joe Sugg, Dina Tokio, Emma Blackery, BubzBeauty, and Marcus Butler — boast a collective 48 million subscribers.
#MadeForYou was developed by YouTube and global ad agency We Are Social, and will celebrate each creator’s different passions with video spots in 275 movie theaters, digital escalator panels in tube stations, bus shelter takeovers, and bus wraps. (For the first time, YouTube says it will use its TrueView ad technology to ensure that ads played in movie theaters will match the preferences of audiences.) Digital ads will also run on Google properties as well as The Telegraph, Time Out, VICE, Sky, Channel 4, ITV, and Mashable.
