How Broadcaster YouTube and Unified CTV Work Together to Maximise Reach and Engagement

TL;DR

Brainlabs tested integrating Broadcaster YouTube content—specifically Sky Sports’ Women’s Euros coverage—into a Unified CTV campaign alongside Netflix and YouTube. The aim was to capitalise on high-attention broadcast moments beyond the live event, tapping into highlights, interviews, and analysis that keep audiences engaged. By using cross-publisher frequency capping and Programmatic Guaranteed buys, the campaign:

  • Delivered +1.4M added unique reach without extra budget
  • Achieved 142% of planned reach for the same cost
  • Drove 77% product search lift and 61% brand search lift
  • Captured demand-led spikes in engagement after key matches

Broadcaster YouTube offers a brand-safe, high-attention channel to extend reach, build effective frequency, and align with cultural moments—without undermining broadcaster or SVOD revenue—making it a powerful lever in Unified CTV strategy.
