YouTube Ads in Egypt: The New TV Where You Pay Per View

YouTube inherited Egyptian TV audiences — and you only pay when someone actually watches. Skippable ads: if viewers skip before 30 seconds, you pay nothing — the first 5 seconds of awareness are nearly free. Non-skippable 15s for one strong message; 6-second bumpers for cheap brand recall.

Egyptian CPVs run roughly EGP 0.10–0.50 per view — EGP 3,000 can buy 10–20k real targeted views. The secret: the first 5 seconds ARE the ad — open with the problem, a strong visual, or a direct question, with your brand visible immediately. Targeting gold: reach viewers of specific channels/topics, or people who previously searched Google for your service. Use YouTube for cheap wide awareness, then retarget engaged viewers on Meta and Google Search for conversion.

Blast Media's campaign management includes YouTube, and we produce the ad video itself if you don't have one.
