Today YouTube has launched a new service called Insights for Audience. A video analytics tool, which describe your audience on YouTube based on their demographics. Previously YouTube already offered insights on specific videos, but this time the analytics are based on the whole YouTube audience. After setting up a search query many different insights can be found on the kind of videos the target group watches. It can also be used to discover which video categories are popular among the target group.

Media agencies can use this tool to discover which type of video YouTube users search for based on their country, age, gender and interests. The analytics will help agencies to develop better (YouTube) campaign videos that take the interest and viewing behavior of the target group  into account.
