Use Video Ad Sequencing and Remarketing to Solidify Sales
Spin Creative • March 22, 2021
Depending on your video advertising strategy, when and which customers see your ads might be a bit of a gamble. A more effective way to hook viewers and lead them through the sales funnel is to use strategic ad sequencing and retargeting to catch them at the right moments.Our social media production company offers helpful marketing ads sequencing.
Multiple major video platforms have added the ability for marketers to use video ad sequencing, including YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn. By using these features, video marketers can send more appropriate messages to the right viewers and lead them further toward conversion.
What is video ad sequencing?
Video ad sequencing and retargeting functions create specific advertising audiences out of your viewers. When a consumer watches a certain amount of a particular video ad, they can be added to one of those advertising audiences, which follows a predetermined video ad sequence.
What this means is that you can set up a series of video ads that are intended to be seen in a specific order, then push those ads to viewers who have met your advertising criteria. These groups of viewers are usually smaller, but they’ve already been introduced to your company, so they’re worth more to retarget.
Essentially, video ad sequencing uses specific user behavior to help you more effectively push consumers through the sales funnel. If a user only watched a third of your first video, you can push more top-of-funnel video ads to them. But if a user watched your first video full through, they will probably be more receptive to a video further down the funnel.
Why use ad sequencing?
The video ad sequencing strategy is beneficial for two reasons. First, ad sequencing allows you to craft a story in multiple parts that works with consumers’ short attention spans but still drives engagement with your videos. Second, the remarketing ability grabs the attention of users who have seen your content or ads before, so you’re able to deliver more effective messages.
Video ad sequencing isn’t just useful for driving conversions, though. This strategy can help your brand achieve a range of marketing goals, whether it’s to increase brand awareness or take action.
Using a cohesive set of ads can help improve ad recall, regardless of the campaign goal you set. The similar style and compounding story your ads tell reinforce your messaging and get people to pay attention after they’ve been introduced to you.
Building your video ad sequencing strategy
Video ad sequencing can be an extremely effective tool, allowing you to deliver the right messages to the right consumers at the right time. However, doing remarketing correctly requires a well-planned strategy.
The video ad funnels you create should follow a similar structure
to the general sales funnel. Help customers learn more about you, show them the value and solutions you offer, then convince them to take action.
You’ll need to map out your video ads ahead of time. It’s possible to use existing video ads. However, creating an entirely new series might allow you to create a more cohesive message and ensure there are no gaps in the funnel. Some of the most memorable video ad sequences are those that tell a complete story from beginning to end.

About Us
Spin Creative is a video production company and creative agency helping marketers create winning video and creative strategies that engage, inspire and activate targeted audiences. Spin is headquartered in Seattle with offices in San Francisco and London, serving brands around the globe.
At Spin Creative, we believe the most effective product stories go beyond features—they tap into a clear, emotionally resonant narrative that connects with real people. That’s the lens we brought to our collaboration with Microsoft Viva, where our challenge was clear: create a high-impact video that visually captures how Copilot AI empowers people at work.
The end result? A fully 3D-animated brand film designed to wow audiences at executive keynotes, tradeshows, and enterprise events. But how we got there is just as important as what we delivered.
At Spin Creative, we’ve always believed that the power of brand storytelling lies in connecting emotionally with real people. But as artificial intelligence transforms industries at lightning speed, many marketing and creative leaders are asking the same question: What’s next for agencies like ours—and how do we continue to drive value in this new era? Here’s our point of view: AI is a powerful new tool—but not a replacement for insight, strategy, and human connection.
In 2025, digital marketing continues to be a dynamic force—shaped by shifting consumer behaviors, ever-changing platform algorithms, and increasing privacy regulations. For brands looking to maintain relevance and performance in a crowded space, staying ahead means being strategic, adaptive, and creative. At Spin Creative, we believe that clarity in brand storytelling, paired with a smart digital approach, can help brands rise above the noise.
A great video marketing campaign doesn’t start with creative—it starts with strategy. To make an impact, your brand needs more than a beautiful video; it needs a plan that aligns with your audience’s needs, your business goals, and the right distribution channels.
