In a quarter with the biggest annual TV advertising event, The Super Bowl, advertising analytics company Ace Metrix has pulled out the top-performing ads in 30 categories, including retail, fast food chains, insurance, and mobile devices. Ace Metrix analyzed ads in the three months to March 31, 2015.
Stand-out ads in the first quarter came from Google's Android, McDonald's, Budweiser, Dove, and Prudential Investments. This list is not a definitive top 30 of 2015 so far, but the winner in each category (so the number two ad in the "video games" category, for example, may have received a higher score than the top "pets" ad), which still gives a rounded indicator of some of the great work that has been produced in the year to date.
