Here's the catchiest YouTube ads in the PHL so far this year

We usually skip ads whenever we watch videos on YouTube. But sometimes there are really good ads that manage to capture our attention and make us watch them until the end.

 

YouTube recently released a list of the top 10 ads for the first half of 2015 in the Philippines. The ads are a mix of both local and global brands, with majority of them being made specifically for the digital format. Unsurprisingly, the ridiculously catchy Ariel jingle managed to make its way into the top 10.

 

Here's the full list, ranked in descending order:

 

1. Nestlé — Mother’s Day | NIDO FORTIGROW

 

 

2. Closeup — Nadine Lustre dared to surprise James Reid for Closeup #CupidGames 

 

 

3. Clash of Clans — Revenge (Official Super Bowl TV Commercial) 

 

 

4. McDonald’s — Brilliant machine delivers hot meal… and more! 

 

 

5. Ariel — Finally Ariel 

 

 

6. Samsung — Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge - Official Introduction

YouTube in the Philippines

 

In the Philippines, time spent watching videos on YouTube has grown 60% from last year, faster than the global average, with 40% of that watchtime happening on mobile devices. And Filipinos don’t just like watching videos—compared to last year, Filipinos have increased the number of hours of their uploaded content by 20%.

 

According to Gautam Anand, Director of YouTube Partnerships & Operations in the Asia Pacific, top YouTube channels in the country are a “healthy” mix of both local and international channels. Other countries are more extreme, tending towards more local or more international channels. — Bea Montenegro/TJD, GMA News
