Asia-Pacific YouTube Ads Leaderboard: January 2018

The YouTube APAC Ads Leaderboard is a monthly list curated by Google.

Comments from Google: 

The No.1 ad for January combines the star power of a Japanese celebrity with breathtaking in-game action from a top-selling game title. The result? A compelling 60-second spot full of sound, action and comedy to delight fans.

In second place is a 12-minute coming-of-age micro-movie, complete with orchestral soundtrack, which celebrates the values of family, love and companionship. Rounding up the top three is another 60-second ad from the long-running Santaro series featuring heroes from popular Japanese fairy tales.

What these all have in common is a fresh and unique approach to creative storytelling that takes full advantage of YouTube’s lean-in, sound-on video viewing experience.
