YouTube BrandConnect
YouTube's branded content program matching eligible creators with advertisers and measuring the resulting campaign performance.
What it means in practice
BrandConnect supports eligible branded-content opportunities through YouTube's creator and advertiser ecosystem. Access, campaign invitations, deal workflows, and measurement features depend on creator eligibility, advertiser participation, and market availability.
Why it matters
Creators and advertisers must evaluate whether the program's deal terms, reporting, and available matches suit the campaign.
How it is used
An eligible creator reviews an advertiser opportunity, agrees to a brief, publishes the sponsored video, and shares platform-supported results.
