Environmental Concern Gets 80,000 to Skip Behavior, Not Ad

Chili-based environmental concern Sodimac et La Casa Eco has made brilliant use of YouTube’s newish ad skipping feature. A two minute video illustrates how the entity incorporated the ad skipping feature into their creative by adding a Skip This Behavior button which would appear just above and at the same moment as the Skip Ad button would appear.

Messaging would ask viewers whether they wanted to skip a certain behavior (using too much water, for example) or skip the ad. It worked. In one week, 80,000 people clicked the Skip This Behavior button.
