YouTube and Powtoon Join Forces to Bring Video Ad Creation to the Masses

LONDON, Nov. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Powtoon, the leading web-based video creation platform, is partnering with YouTube on its recently launched Creative Directory.

Powtoon's partnership with YouTube is the culmination of months of experimentation, iteration, and product development. In addition to offering numerous video templates for content, including explainer videos, marketing videos, and presentation videos; Powtoon now offers its users templates specifically optimized for YouTube video ads. Each of the templates have been created with YouTube's best practices in mind, to maximize potential for favorable results.

About the process that led up to the partnership, Powtoon CEO Ilya Spitalnik says, "We collectively knew we were onto something. During the experimentation process, the YouTube and Powtoon teams discovered that Powtoon video ads could generate significantly increased engagement when the ads incorporate YouTube's best practices. We worked closely with the YouTube team to perfect the video ad templates, and we're proud to finally unleash the beast after months of piloting with real SMBs!"
