A campaign promoting Grammarly software to improve your writing made the most recent Viral Video Chart, rubbing shoulders with Google and Adidas. As always, of course, the chart counts views that are "organic" -- the kind of thing you think of when you say "viral" -- and from paid ads, the true coin of the realm for most marketers' online video campaigns.
Ad Age's Viral Video Chart, powered by Visible Measures, focuses on brand-driven social video ad campaigns. Each campaign is measured by True Reach, an MRC accredited metric that includes views from brand-driven and audience-driven social video clips. The data are compiled using the patented Visible Measures platform, a constantly growing repository of analytic data on hundreds of millions of videos tracked across hundreds of online video destinations.
Note: This analysis includes all publicly available video views on branded video content. This chart does not include movie trailers, video game campaigns, TV show, or television network promotions. View counts are incremental by week.
**Indicates percent change in views compared with the same period the week before.
