YouTube Top Ten Ads From April 2013

YouTube have started to compile a monthly Advertising “Top 10″. This is based not solely on the number of views but also factors in paid, organic and view rate (watching the whole thing).

On this basis the top 2, with 100 million views between them are:

1. Evian Baby

2. Dove Real Beauty – Sketches

At No. 3-5, the hits drop to a still very impressive 5 million to 15 million views (remember this is for new work)

3. KMart – Ship My Pants

4. Pepsi – Beyonce

5.Old Spice – Watermelon

If you are interested in seeing the other five, check out the link here, though I struggled to watch the whole ads, even the short ones to be honest

Cute!

What a sweet piece of work from Cow & Gate (Dairy products) in Ireland.

Its good to be reminded that the magic word we so often use “Impact” doesn’t have to mean shouting loudly nor is it synonymous with the number of “impacts” we make.

I love how they ladder “feeding” kids to a higher order too. It might not win cupboards full of awards but I think this will touch a lot of hearts and benefit the brand in the process.

In the face of increasing restrictions on beverage size in New York and elsewhere, Coco-Cola adds its bit to the obesity issue.

Good to see the drop in calorific intake in schools from soft-drinks.

On Coco-Cola’s website they kindly provide the calorific content of various drinks which for an 8oz serving (about 200ml … about 2/3 or less of a can of Coke or small beer bottle) are:

192 calories: 2% Reduced Fat Chocolate Milk

144 calories: regular Milk

136 calories: whole milk latte

136 calories: bottled orange juice

128 calories: cream soda

117: regular beer

88: regular cola

81: light beer

Which probably goes to show that juice and milk are not meal accompaniments but the meal, and that beer is not only delicious but relatively low calorie.

Though nothing beats water.
