YouTube Unveils AI-Powered Music Ad Solutions to Target Gen Z

As a growing number of tech companies invest heavily in recent explosive
advances in AI, YouTube introduces two new AI-powered music ad solutions focused
on targeting Gen Z.

  YouTube has [72]announced two new AI-powered features enabling brands
  to advertise to Gen Z using popular music more easily. While the
  Google-owned video platform has long leveraged AI to recommend videos
  to users, the new ad features are launching to cement YouTube’s
  position as a comprehensive music platform while offering a suite of
  features for brands seeking to utilize music to connect with a younger
  audience.

  Following the heels of this year’s [73]Coachella festival, YouTube
  announced its new features while describing itself as “the ultimate
  destination for content during festival season,” — especially among Gen
  Z — “who come to the platform to share and engage with videos ranging
  from performance highlights to outfit inspiration, vlogs, and more.”

   Gen Z Music, the first new feature announced, uses AI to identify the songs
   trending among Gen Z users across YouTube. Advertisers may be surprised to
   learn, for example, that ’80s hits from Cyndi Lauper have recently spiked in
   popularity among Gen Z users on the platform — trends that are important to
   note as they deviate from the usual contemporary hits.

  The second feature, [74]Trending Music on Shorts, is intended to help
  brands leverage YouTube’s TikTok-like Shorts better. “Gen Z uses
  short-form video to participate in pop culture, discover new hits and
  engage with their favorite musical artists,” says YouTube. Details are
  relatively scarce at this stage, but YouTube indicates that its
  upcoming Trending Music on Shorts feature will strategically place ads
  within “popular, music-themed Shorts videos” with the help of AI.

  “Much like YouTube creators, brands have the same potential for
  innovation and creative storytelling,” [75]says Nicky Rettke, Vice
  President of Product Management at YouTube. “YouTube’s array of
  creative tools and ad formats, powered by Google’s AI, means brands can
  tell stories they want to tell and reach the world’s largest
  video-viewing audience. That means more ways to reach viewers across
  all the ways they watch — and stronger ROI compared to TV and online
  video.”

  Google’s research and development into AI have increased rapidly in
  recent months to remain a step ahead of competitors like Microsoft,
  which announced AI-powered upgrades to its Bing and Edge platforms.
  Similarly, Meta and Amazon have taken steps to harness the growing
  enthusiasm surrounding generative AI.
