YouTube has released an Ads Leaderboard ranking the top 6-second brand ads that were shown on its platform.
The Ads Leaderboard regroups the top 6-second ads that were shown on YouTube between July 2017 and July 2018. The rankings were determined by a combination of a creative rating survey led by Ipsos, and an algorithm that factored in views and engagement on the video ads.
In a commentary, YouTube explained that most of the ads which scored high in this ranking were specifically created for the 6-second format.
So if you thought you could repurpose any content for any format, maybe it’s time to review your content strategy.
