January’s approach reminds us of an exciting new chapter where we can shed our old selves, create a different path and take on challenges in an effort to redefine who we are. While it’s common to poke fun at the “new year, new me” mantra, YouTube’s significant role in helping people plan and follow through with their New Year’s resolutions is no joke.
From fitness and skill-sharing to education and awareness, the world turns to YouTube for limitless content from creators they can trust. For brands, YouTubers bridge the gap between their products and savvy audiences who are wary of inauthentic messaging around New Year’s resolutions.
As contextual targeting becomes more popular, consumers are looking to brands that can make real connections with what they’re watching.
Below, we’re sharing key YouTube content and audience interests around the New Year that can help marketers build better campaigns and meaningful relationships with target audiences. From making more sustainable choices to reupholstering a sofa, BBTV’s Ad Solutions offer brands an opportunity to be an integral part of the everyday consumer’s New Year’s resolutions journey.
Let’s Get Eco-Friendly: New Year’s Resolutions
In a recent report, Google found that 82% of consumers are more invested in sustainability now than before COVID-19. The report highlights popular search queries around sustainability in the U.S, and actually points to consumers wanting to incorporate simple eco-friendly habits into their daily routines. This includes buying from brands that prioritize their environmental impact and offer a suite of products that help consumers make better decisions around sustainability.
YouTube is home to eco-friendly creators across verticals who are educating audiences and recommending products that take into account their carbon footprint. Aligning your brand with YouTubers dedicated to sustainability creates organic interest for audiences that are interested in the ethics of the brand as well as their products.

Let’s Get Healthy!
After overdoing it on the holiday treats, many are looking for a healthy start to the New Year. While health and fitness content on YouTube has been a growing trend over the years, the closure of gyms during COVID-19 catapulted this genre into a new level of popularity. Even as gyms reopen, viewership growth across the fitness content still continues to rise, proving that many prefer the intimate feel of guided YouTube classes or tutorials that help them get and stay in shape.
Take Jordan Yeoh – a fitness guru whose YouTube channel has amassed over 3 million subscribers thanks to his consistent content that makes getting in shape a realistic goal. His easy-to-follow videos have helped fans stay on track and offer fitness education that would come at a hefty price from a personal trainer.

Brands have the unique opportunity during the New Year to not only market to YouTube audiences who are seeking out content that encourages healthy living, but also to become a positive impact on their resolutions. In fact, consumers prefer to be targeted with ads that align with what they’re watching on YouTube. Incorporating consumers’ wants and needs goes beyond contextual targeting, it makes the ad experience more intimate and human.
