5. OLX India
Engagement Score – 914

This video almost brought tears to my eyes. Rolling up emotions such as nostalgia, longing and fulfillment, the video tells the story of how an octogenarian woman was able to reunite with her childhood. The lovely concept and subtle brand plug-in is a marketing win, according to me. Even the engagement numbers are in agreement given the brand received over 29,000 Likes and 2,800 Shares on this post.
