Google recommends this buying to advertisers that don’t want to spend time adjusting the bids to optimize delivery, and want to achieve specific goals for impressions and total spend.

According to Google, advertisers that want to create an Instant Reserve deal with YouTube Masthead ads need to click in Marketplace, and then select the YouTube publisher card.
