Most read: Google tells brands to spend 24% of TV ad budgets on YouTube
Why? Because according to their own research, cost-per-reach will be optimised, 北京赛车pk10's James Swift reports from .
Eileen Naughton, 's managing director of UK and Ireland operations, said had analysed more than 1,000 TV campaigns over the past year using its Google Extra Reach Tool and found advertisers reach target audiences more efficiently by adding YouTube to their media plans.
She said it was a particularly effective medium for attracting "the hard to reach 16- to 34-year-olds".
Naughton also cited Ipsos research (conducted in conjunction with Google) that stated seeing a campaign on TV and YouTube was more influential than seeing the ad the same number of times on just television.
Google also analysed an unspecified (citing hundreds) number of campaigns globally – finding that 96% of ads measured resulted in an average lift in recall of 71%.
ASA: Suffocated woman ad by Karma Nirvana charity escapes ban
, 北京赛车pk10's Gurjit Degun reports. The Advertising Standards Authority received six complaints about whether the ad was distressing or condoned unsafe practice.
The ASA agreed with the charity's response that the text in the ad made the intentions of the charity clear, and said it was "unlikely to cause unjustifiable distress".
The ASA also agreed with Karma Nirvana that the ad did not encourage unsafe practise: "Because we understood that the Metro had a predominantly adult readership and we did not consider that the ad had particular appeal to children or presented the activity in a positive light, we concluded that the ad did not condone or encourage an unsafe practice."

ad:tech London: Digital content secrets revealed
Yesterday at ad:tech London, representatives from Paddy Power, ZenithOptimedia, John Lewis and Evian discussed the techniques that had led to .
Here's one of them, Paddy Power's discovery of the shareability of crude-looking videos.
"Hacky, crude-looking content can have a good viral effect," said Paul Mallon, head of digital engagement at online betting brand Paddy Power. "Something shiny or glossy doesn’t always work with consumers."
As an example, Mallon used the brand’s partnership with former Manchester United footballer Paul Scholes, who was Paddy Power's pundit for the 2014 Fifa World Cup.
In the brand's video (above) Scholes diverts from his interview to kick a football at two loud Italian football fans.
Paddy Power has also been experimenting with this concept through user-generated content (UGC).
Mallon explained: "Our Fan Denial short-form videos highlight the moments that matter to football fans.
"Most of it is illiterate content, but we put a voiceover over the one-minute video and on average, they are getting about 200 retweets and 200,000 views. It’s relatively easy to produce and a quick blast of content."
