Thailand, Vietnam, Unilever top YouTube's list of top 2015 APAC ads

Google observes that:

• These 10 videos garnered more than 3.5 million hours (400 years) of watchtime, half of that on mobile.
•  Half of the ads in the leaderboard play more like movies than ads, with high production values, developed storylines and minimal product placement
• Only two years after getting official YouTube sites, Vietnam and Thailand are in the top 10 markets worldwide for numbers of hours watched, with year-on-year growth hitting 120 percent in Vietnam and 70 percent in Thailand. 

Meanwhile, Ad Nut observes that the top two positions belong to music videos featuring attractive young humans, specifically pop singers/dancers. Ad Nut further observes that No. 3, YouTube's own appearance on the list, is hilarious.

Methodology note from YouTube: "The YouTube Ads Leaderboard showcases the most creative ads that people choose to watch. The list is determined by an algorithm that factors in paid views, organic views, and audience retention (how much of a video people watched)."
