“Number one, most important thing that you do is write the headline that's compelling and it gets attention.” – Dmitri Smirnov
“I think, and a lot of people agree, that Google has more information on us than any other company in the world, more than even Facebook.” – Dmitri Smirnov
“YouTube requires you to watch five seconds of an ad, so that's your time to hook your target audience.” – Dmitri Smirnov
“YouTube ads do not need to be professional. Often times it's actually better that they aren't professionally done.” – Dmitri Smirnov
