Dior, Samsung, Apple, and Ford all have campaigns on this week's chart that introduce new products, but only one ad stands out for us: Samsung's "/make" (at No. 7) that pitches its series showcasing how creators use Samsung products to make art. Its driving beat, fast edits and cool shots convey a real sense of creative ownership, a perfect match for its subject.
We're also partial to No. 3, T-Mobile's "T-Mobile Has You Covered," an admittedly slick short about a dad, his little kid, and a super-hero costume come to life. We just think the dad and son are super cute. Thank you, casting.
As always, the view counts reflect both organic views initiated by consumers and paid views generated through ad placements.
